By Born King and a half-brother to winning jumper Flight Zero. Weakened out of it in a Navan bumper 3f out finishing 13th of 14 beaten 39L on debut. Likely to struggle on hurdling bow.
Sunday Break gelding out of a Kendor mare. Not seen since finishing second of 12 in a French three-year-old hurdle in June 2017. Makes Irish debut here and likely to be popular in the market for Gold Cup winning connections.
Returned from a break with two sterling efforts to be placed at Gowran Park and Down Royal before the end of the year. Well held in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month but worthy of consideration dropping back in trip.
By Stowaway out of an Indian Danehill mare. Cost €23,000 as a three-year-old. Failed to build on promising hurdling debut at Clonmel last month when finishing 18L adrift of the winner at Fairyhouse. Plenty more needed in this company.
Flat bred gelding by Rock of Gibraltar out of a winning sprinter. Well down the field on hurdling debut in a Navan maiden earlier in the month and likely to struggle once again.
€70,000 three-year-old. Half-brother to three winners in France up to 2m 2f. Tailed off finishing fifth of seven in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle earlier this month. Easy to look elsewhere.
Gelding by Azamour out of a Sadler's Wells mare. Half-brother to winners Dispour and Dalasiri on the Flat. Dam half-sister to Dalakhani and Daylami. One best watched for future engagements.
Placed second in a point-to-point on yielding-to-soft ground in April last year before a dismal effort on maiden hurdle debut last month finishing tailed off, 19th of 20. Hard to fancy.
Gelding by Milan out of a Diesis. Half-brother to hurdle winners Dreadnot and Upsanddowns. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut run.
Point-to-point form has failed to convert over to bumper and hurdle contests, well held in a couple of starts since December. Worth a market check being in the right hands.
Flemensfirth gelding is a brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Run 'N' Jump. Last of 11 beaten 159L when always in rear in a Leopardstown bumper in December. Unlikely to improve enough to play a role in the finish.
Failed to meet market expectations when an inmate of Ballydoyle and failed to shine on debut for new connections in a Dundalk maiden over 1m4f when last seen in December. Others preferred on hurdling debut.
Lethal Force gelding out of a Kyllachy mare. Dam placed over 7f as a two-year-old. Half-sister to Group 2 winner Pipedreamer. Unlikely to make a name for himself in the national hunt ranks.
Beat Hollow gelding out of a Dr Fong mare. Dam useful 2m - 3m hurdle winner. Will look to build on his maiden hurdle debut finishing fourth of 11 beaten 1¾L at Wexford earlier this month.
Gelding by Cokoriko out of a Cadoudal mare. Cost €20,000 as a three-year-old and is a half-brother French 1m4f - 1m7f Flat winner Biennale. Disappointed on debut in a Wexford maiden hurdle earlier this month and has plenty to prove.
Trans Island gelding out of a Overbury mare. Dam bumper winner/well beaten 2m-2m4f over hurdles. Half-sister to winners Kayf Adventure and Eight Is My Number. Likely to be better over a longer trip.
Gelding by Salutino out of a Kalanisi mare. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner Kalanisi King. Nothing in a couple of disappointing starts, only making his debut this month. Looks a long term prospect for Champion hurdle winning yard.
Formerly with trainer Dermot Weld bought at the Goffs November sale for €25,000. Well held in a couple of maiden hurdle starts for new connections and hard to place any faith in.

The Gold Cup winning colours of Al Boum Photo can be seen in the winners enclosure once again here carried by the French import BREAKEN who would have to improve on his Gallic form to win on Irish debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The Beneficial gelding Calicojack and the Jessica Harrington-trained Fiveallin could emerge as the biggest dangers, while World Stage can go well at a price.
