£42,000 4-y-o out of a 3m1f hurdle winner. Fell at penultimate fence in maiden on point-to-point debut in February, but still leading at the time, so merits consideration.
Great Pretender half-brother to fairly useful hurdler What's Occurring. Yard has won this twice in recent years, and little to choose between him and Zambezi Fix of stable's representatives here.
Full-brother to fair French jumper Ribambelle and half-brother to smart chaser Roi Mage out of a useful French jumper. Yard 2-5 in bumpers here in last two years, so can't be ignored.
From family of Gold Cup winner Imperial Commander, but has made limited impact in a couple of starts to date, and looks one for further down the line.
Stowaway gelding from family of smart chaser Felix Yonger. Yard not associated with success in this sphere.
Court Cave gelding hampered and brought down 6f out in George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper won by Uhtred at Fairyhouse on recent debut. Market suggested not that much was expected there, and yard has a couple of likelier types in this race.
Turgeon gelding out of French hurdles winner. Denied a clear run when an encouraging third of 8 to Blackhillsofdakota in Listed bumper at Limerick last month, and sure to do better.
Beat Hollow gelding out of a useful 2m-3m hurdle winner. Matched debut promise when fourth of 18 to Breaken in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last month, and competitive if translating that form to bumpers.
By Jeremy out of an unraced half-sister to winning jumper Off The Charts out of half-sister to useful jumpers Boychuk and Golden Chieftain. Yard can ready one, and jockey has pick of owner's runners.
Konig Turf gelding out of a Dom Alco mare. Ran into one in the shape of the Willie Mullins-trained Blue Sari at Gowran on debut, and still travelling well when brought down last time. Major claims.
Gelded since showing some ability on debut at Thurles last month, but will need to improve markedly to land this competitive prize.
Tongue tied when seventh of 9 to Dewcup in maiden bumper at Thurles last month, a place behind Granny Knot. Plenty more required.
Bred more for speed than stamina, and didn't quite get home having raced freely when sixth of 13 to Barnes des Mottes in a maiden bumper at Naas in February. Sure to improve on that, and not dismissed.
Mahler gelding out of a Flat maiden, and a cheap purchase at the sales. Others much more appealing on paper.
Much his best effort to date when fifth of 8 to Blackhillsofdakota in a Listed bumper at Limerick last time, and ought to progress further, but others have achieved more, and he's passed over.
Out of a bumper winner, and had a couple of these in his wake when fifth of 9 to Dewcup in a maiden bumper at Thurles, where he met serious trouble in running. Should confirm form, but needs to step up if he's to win this.
Has a pedigree which suggests he will need time and distance, and likely to find things happening too quick on racecourse debut.
Fairly Ranson gelding out of a fairly useful jumps performer. Showed ability when 18L fifth of 14 to Bioverdia in a maiden bumper at Ballinrobe, and should improve, although does need to.
Librettist half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Blu Cavalier and fairly useful chaser Sartorial Elegance. Pulled hard when fourth of 14 to Bioverdia in maiden bumper at Ballinrobe, and claims if more amenable to restraint.
Recital gelding out of an unraced mare. Nothing special on pedigree, and surprise if he proved up to troubling the judge on debut.
Getaway half-brother to bumper winners Kalopsia and Chead Solas. Yard has an excellent record in this sphere, and this youngster is shortlisted on that and his useful pedigree.
Represents shrewd connections of Presenting Percy, but this Arctic Cosmos gelding makes limited appeal on pedigree, and the fitting of a tongue tie for his racecourse bow is a concern.
Zambezi Sun half-brother to useful hurdlers Fixe Le Kap and A Mi Manera. Jockey booking suggests he could be the pick of a number on interesting runners from this powerful yard.
Zoffany filly who has been well beaten in two starts to date, and makes very little appeal here.
Dam a half-sister to yard's smart jumper Whatuthink, but hasn't produced anything of note to this point, and this filly looks an outsider on racecourse bow.

FRONT VIEW found only subsequent Cheltenham Champion Bumper runner-up Blue Sari too strong on debut at Gowran before being brought down when still going well at Naas. He may well make amends here, although Gordon Elliott's team demand respect, and Zambezi Fix appears the pick of those on riding arrangements. Farceur du Large was unlucky in a Listed event at Limerick on his debut, and is another who merits maximum respect.
