2/1
Six-race maiden hurdler who has been sending out mixed messages in a number of starts since March. Good chance handicaps will suit better on the back of this.

9/2
Has been seen over the larger obstacles without success in a number of starts since September. Seven-race maiden over hurdles well beaten on his last four starts over timber. Needs to improve sooner rather than later.
4
Horse silk
100/1
Nothing of note in a couple of career maiden hurdle efforts when sent off at odds of 100/1 and 66/1, running accordingly on each occasion. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and others hold stronger profiles.
5
Horse silk
33/1
Failed to complete in two point-to-points and pulled up on hurdles bow over this trip at Cork when sent off at odds of 125-1 last month. Has suffered further setbacks subsequently and hard to place any faith in.
6
Horse silk
66/1
Not much to shout about in two career maiden hurdle efforts to date. Sent off at odds of 50/1 on latest start at Limerick last month and probably best watched for now.

12/1
Five-race maiden over hurdles and found no extra after three out on his latest start at Tipperary last month. Best watched based on evidence to hand unless market vibes suggest otherwise.

20/1
Recently seen scrapping for place money in a number of point-to-points starts since last March, before making his rules debut in a Tramore maiden hurdle on Saturday finishing seventh of 11 beaten 22L. Not disgraced but needs improvement here.

9/4
Running well on a number of occasions in bumpers for trainer Kevin Prendergast last year, before finishing in midfield of a Kilbeggan maiden on hurdling debut when last seen in September. Can be expected to be ready on stable debut.
Daughter of Primary out of a Beneficial mare. Dam, twice raced and well beaten in a couple of bumper starts over 2m/2m4f. Yards debutantes' usually need first run.
By Getaway out of a Supreme Leader mare. Dam failed to complete in three career point-to-point starts. Could be worth a check in the market for yard with two winners in the last 14 days.
12
Horse silk
33/1
Nothing of note in a number of bumper starts towards the end of the year and well beaten 41L finishing eighth of 12 on hurdling debut at Limerick last month.

Forecasts

Exceeded Brief (11/10), Brog Ahaon (2/1), The Abbey (9/4), Celebrity Status (9/2), Major Fawcett (12/1), Impulsive Way (12/1), Spring Well (20/1), Hourie (33/1), Miss Tulpar (33/1), Cherrysroad (33/1), Javoski (66/1), Golden Birch (100/1)

Verdict

With many not in the greatest of form, it may pay to side with the trainer/jockey combination of Henry De Bromhead and Davy Russell and the Oscar mare, EXCEEDED BRIEF. The five-year-old can score at the expense of Spring Well who can improve on his run at Tramore on Saturday and Gordon Elliott debutante, The Abbey.
  1. Exceeded Brief
  2. Spring Well
  3. The Abbey
