Kutub mare who appears to be struggling with form falling in a November point-to-point and pulling up four out in a Down Royal maiden on hurdling debut last month before finishing last of 18 at Thurles last time out.
Smart bumper performer ran with significant credit on hurdles bow at Tramore over 2m when third to smart performer Getaway Katie Mai before disappointing on New Years day when last seen beaten 31L. Tough ask on third start in first time cheekpieces.
Anabaa Blue filly. Dam, bumper/fairly useful 2m hurdle winner. Is yet to transfer winning point-to-point form to the track and hard to make a case for on form to hand.
Flemensfirth mare from winning French family. Raced in rear on debut in a Naas maiden hurdle over 2m3f, eventually beaten 35L finishing 10th of 20. Others look to have more scope for improvement.
By Dragon Pulse out of a Woodman mare. Half-sister to eight winners including Parvaaz and Jazmeer. Best watched on debut with yard going through somewhat of a tricky time lately.
Daughter of Getaway out of a Mister Lord mare. Cost €14,000 as a three-year-old. Nothing of note in two career starts to date in a couple of dismal bumper efforts since February. Has plenty to prove at present.
Handy 85-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer James Fanshawe. Will be looking to get off the mark here for respected connections following a couple of near misses in her last couple of starts. One of the more likely types.
Seven-race maiden on the Flat, her career has been blighted by prolonged absences. Finished seventh of 18 beaten 43L at odds of 110/1 maiden hurdle debut last month. Hasn't shown enough to be of interest.
Landed a December point-to-point towards the end of the year but will need to improve on her eighth place finish in a 13 runner maiden hurdle contest at Fairyhouse and a 37L defeat at Clonmel when last seen in February.
Nicely bred Walk In The Park mare cost £200,000 at Aintree Sales 12 months ago. Progressing well and will carry plenty of confidence on this ground as she attempts to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking.
Promising fifth in a soft ground Ayr bumper on debut in February but struggled at Clonmel and Navan subsequently. Still looking no nearer to a breakthrough success.
Some promise in bumpers and also in three hurdles starts to date, finishing third at both Navan, Punchestown and on stable debut in a Limerick maiden hurdle on heavy ground last month. Not easily dismissed.
Off the mark at the seventh time of asking in a Punchestown bumper over 2m2f in December. Beaten since but appears to be progressing well in her last couple of starts including finishing second of eight over C&D in February. Strong place claims.
A €1,200 three-year-old, Millenary filly. She's closely related to smart hurdler/chaser Sharp Rise. Nothing to shout about in a couple of career starts to date and best avoided on only second run over timber.
Dandy Man filly with modest record in ten starts on the Flat, mostly over sprint trip but more recently at up to 1m. Well held ninth of 13 beaten 67L on hurdling debut at Cork last month. Others preferred.
Filly by Zambezi Sun out of a Peintre Celebre mare. Cost €58,000 in July last year. Half sister to winners Heartbreak City and Russian Memories. Could be one for the future but one of the more intriguing contenders.
Casamento filly out of a Diktat mare. Nothing of note in five starts on the Flat for trainer Paddy Prendergast and likely to need the experience on hurdling introduction.
Elusive Pimpernel filly out of a Kris mare. Well down the field in a couple of maiden hurdle starts last month, sent off at odds of 100/1 on each occasion and running accordingly.
Some promise on Flat debut at Killarney in July before disappointing in three runs later in the season. Well beaten, some way out on three hurdles starts to date and likely to find it tough going here.

The Willie Mullins-trained GREAT WHITE SHARK would not have to improve too much on her two starts at Thurles and Navan recently to land the opener, possibly getting a nice toe in to the race from Little Light, for the Joseph O'Brien yard and the keen running Tens Or Better for trainer Peter Fahy. Tara Dylan and Rhythm Divine are worthy of consideration in the opener.
