Improved on debut fourth in the Spring with a close second at Wexford before going one better latest at Clonmel where he won nicely by 6L. Goes hurdling for the first time now but should know the job given connections and highly respected.
Debut winner of a Leopardstown bumper last December where he finished nicely to score by 1½L. Form of that bumper just ok overall and subsequent absence raises a few doubts but not ruled out.
Off the mark at the sixth time of asking when easy winner of a Kilbeggan bumper in August. Midfield next at Galway before gaining his second success last time out at Down Royal. Now goes over hurdles for the first time so jumping the key.
Well beaten 33L on debut in a May bumper for previous yard. Not disgraced on debut for this yard when fourth of seven last month at Clonmel but significantly more needed here.
Beaten 40L and 64L in maiden hurdles earlier in the year for previous yard. Much improved in bumpers this term for new connections with third and second but still has a few nagging doubts now back over hurdles.
Bumper winner on debut finished second to high class odds-on chance Real Steel (subsequently fell at the last when in front in a Grade One )in a hurdle next. Lesser effort back in a bumper next and off since but showed enough to merit respect.
95-rated flat performer, a three time winner from 6f-1m. Seemingly preferred soft ground on the level but should find conditions acceptable here and trainer's recent record here is quite remarkable. Highly respected.
Eighth of 25 here back in May in a maiden hurdle which represented a very solid start. Lesser effort earlier this month in a Navan bumper however and suspicion is that his future will lie over further.
Son of Presenting made a very solid start to his career in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle back in April where he stayed on for second of 18 albeit well beaten. That among the best hurdles form on offer so looks a leading contender.
€8,500 son of Milanais is a half-brother to three winners over hurdles in France out of a hurdles placed dam. Likely need this debut run for experience.
€20,000 three-year-old by Court Cave is a half-brother to a 2m5f-2m6f chase winner out of a placed dam from a stout jumping family. Likely need further and more time.
Beaten 21L on debut on a Cork maiden hurdle at the start of the month and has since been tailed off at the same venue. Hard to fancy on the evidence of those efforts.
Beaten out of sight in maiden hurdles at Roscommon and subsequently at Down Royal; the latest his first start for this yard. Likely to be a huge price and rightly so.
€30,000 debutant son of Doyen is the second foal of an unraced sister to useful hurdles and chase winner Stromstad. Represents a top yard but stable jockey prefers Daly Tiger.
Retained by vendor for £16,000 at auction last December. Son of Falco out of an unraced half-sister to a German Oaks winner. One of the better debutants on pedigree so market check worthwhile.
€26,000 son of Presenting out of an unraced half-sister to a 2m-3m1f hurdles and chase winner and a 2m2f-2m6f chase winner. Looks stable first pick but suspect he will need more time.
Three-time flat winner from 7f-1m rated 66 at present which is a career-high. Interesting newcomer to this code but slight stamina concerns temper enthusiasm.
Well beaten on debut last season but signs of improvement in a Cork maiden hurdle earlier in the month where he finished seventh of 24 beaten 14½L. More needed and appears stable second string here.
Moderate flat performer a winner at up to 7f but has failed to complete in two of three hurdle races and was tailed-off in the only other race over obstacles. Hard to be confident.
Showed only minor ability in three maiden hurdles to date following a pair of sevenths with an 11th of 22 at Naas most recently. Would probably be better served handicapping now.
Modest point-to-point performer who failed to complete in her last two starts of the code. Beaten 28L into 11th of 15 on debut under rules in a Naas bumper and likely to struggle here.

In a race resembling a minefield for punters the vote goes to DALY TIGER for Noel Meade. This son of Tiger Groom won a bumper on debut where fellow leading contender Whatchamacallit's conqueror finished second before registering a very solid effort over hurdles behind a smart Willie Mullins inmate. Whatchamacallit is considered the biggest threat based on his smart second on debut back in April while Acronym is the most fancied of a whole raft of hurdles newcomers for the all-conquering Gordon Elliott.
