Stowaway gelding has failed to finish in a number of point-to-point starts since February. Appears to be a tough call on hurdling debut.

10/3

Eventually got off the mark for connections in his seventh bumper start of his career in a Down Royal contest on St Stephens Day. A solid run can be expected on hurdling introduction.

Arcadio gelding out of a Minster Son mare. Trainer having a much stronger season with his chasers rather than hurdlers and this debutante may need more time.

9/1

Looks a progressive type and was quickly off the mark in his third bumper start at Tramore last month. Likely to be a leading player on hurdling debut.

66/1

Winner of a point-to-point contest in March but has shown signs of limited ability in a Fairyhouse bumper and a couple of maiden hurdle starts last month. Looks up against it here.

Court Cave mare, disappointed connections with a couple of heavy defeats in December following a break of over 12-months. Looks vulnerable in this company.

100/1

Generally solid form in a number point-to-point starts, but has been disappointing in a couple of starts under rules recently. Hard to construct much of a case for the mare here.

Disappointed in a couple of Listed bumper contests towards the end of the year following eye-catching wins on the level earlier in the season. Sure to be well prepped for hurdling introduction.

5/6

Plenty to like about her hurdling debut here last month finishing third of 25 beaten 3L adrift of the improving, Relegate. Looks a leading player for owner who has five in the race.

There was plenty to like about the hurdling debut here last month of BARRINGTON COURT when finishing third of 25 beaten 3L adrift of the improving, Relegate. The five-year-old can add to her Listed bumper win at Navan in November. The Gigginstown pair Valdieu and Final List come here on the back of a couple of impressive bumper wins and can hit the frame. Owner J P McManus has five in the race, alongside the selection and are worth noting in the market.
