Bantiss Jack¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

40/1

Arcadio gelding out of an Oscar mare. Inexpensive €6,500 purchase as a three-year-old. Needs to improve on disappointing debut here earlier this month.

Form: 0

Buckbasil²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: E McCarthy

100/1

Gelding by Tajraasi out of a Buckskin mare. Makes little appeal following 91L defeat in a Galway bumper last month.

Form: 0

Charmed Life²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: M A Enright| T: Mrs J Harrington

7/1

By Kalanisi out of a Montelimar mare. €58,000 purchase for the yard and plenty to like about his debut when sixth of 17 beaten 12L in a Fairyhouse bumper in April. Worth a market check.

Form: 6-

Eagle Roque²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan

8/1

Cost €33,000 as a three-year-old by Youmzain out of a Martaline mare. Useful initial form in a couple of bumpers in the spring but suffered a heavy defeat at Galway on return to action last month. Likely to find it tough going on hurdling debut.

Form: 2224-7

Eclair De Beaufeu¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G Elliott| BF

5/1

Dual bumper winner who can improve on defeat on hurdling debut here earlier this month as beaten favourite. Promising sort who is the one to be interested in.

Form: 11-3

Email Rose

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: A E Lynch| T: H De Bromhead

5/4

€150,000 purchase and related to three winners in France. In capable hands and market likely to reveal expectations on debut.

Form:

Encore Lui

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: L P Dempsey| T: Miss E Doyle

16/1

Gelding by Al Namix out of a Signe Divin mare. Yard without a winner for 12 runs over 18 days and possibly best watched on debut for powerful owner.

Form:

Killacolla⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: A Leahy

10/1

Improved on a number of dismal efforts to finish third of seven in a Tipperary bumper last month. Significant improvement on previous hurdling starts needed.

Form: 25-743

Let The Heirs Walk⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: B W Duke

33/1

Vocalised gelding who has been well held in three career bumper starts to date. Others look more convincing on hurdling debut.

Form: 465

Local Rogue⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

33/1

Well beaten at Naas earlier this month and needs to recapture the form of his debut run over hurdles when third of 15 at Limerick in the spring. Yard currently struggling.

Form: 3-0

Peter's Pence⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: A J McNamara

100/1

Gelding by Papal Bull out of a City Honours mare. Towards rear on debut in a Listowel bumper in September. Hard to fancy on hurdling introduction.

Form: 0

Presenting Point²¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: E O'Grady

100/1

Presenting gelding out of an Alderbrook mare. Beaten a long way on hurdling debut at Tramore when last seen in April. Looks a long-term prospect.

Form: 7-

Sams Profile²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring| T: M F Morris

6/1

Winner of a February point-to-point and caught the eye when third of 16 in a Punchestown bumper in the spring. Place claims on hurdling debut.

Form: 13-

Storm Flight⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

33/1

Gelding by Haatef out of a Marju mare. Shaped well for a while on debut in a Navan bumper in September before weakening in the final furlong. Will possible need hurdling experience on debut.

Form: 7

The Famousmaverick¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: L P Cusack

100/1

Fame And Glory gelding out of a Saddlers Hall mare. Detached four out, following a number of mistakes, before falling at the second last when last seen in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June. Others preferred.

Form: F

Typhoon Rising^t⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: T Foley

100/1

Finished well down the field on first start for 15-months here last month in a 1m4f Flat handicap. Has a bit to prove at present.

Form:

Weihnachts²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: P J Rothwell

50/1

Over 2L clear on debut in a Limerick bumper before fading to finish last of six when last seen in April. Market likely to be the best guide on hurdling debut for powerful owner.

Form: 6-

Brazen Bay¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C D Maxwell| T: J O Clifford

100/1

Nothing of note in a couple of bumper starts eight months apart. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role in this company.

Form: 7-8

Exit To The West¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr J C Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tyner

33/1

Filly by Westerner out of a Exit To Nowhere mare. Modest form in a couple of point-to-point starts in the spring and a watching brief on hurdling debut.

Form: P-5

Golden Glen⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh

33/1

Gold Well Filly. Dam was an average hurdler who failed to win. Poor hurdling debut followed an encouraging third of 18 on debut in a Limerick bumper in July. Others make more appeal.

Form: 39

There was plenty to like, in defeat, about the performance of ECLAIR DE BEAUFEI who went down by ¾L on hurdling debut here earlier this month. The four-year-old can set the record straight here and land this contest from his biggest dangers Sams Profile, third of 16 in a Punchestown bumper in the spring and Henry De Bromhead newcomer Email Rose.
