Arcadio mare out opf maiden point winner. Ran out when in touch 6 out on only start to date between the flags and makes Rules debut here.
Pulled up twice and finished last twice in four maiden hurdles so far and could hardly have a less inviting profile.
Mostly poor form prior to improved effort when fifth of 20 in Punchestown maiden hurdle in June. Backed that up with Kilbeggan third over 2m4f last time but more needed to score. First-time cheekpieces applied
Comfortably landed Wexford bumper in May and only narrowly edged out under penalty in Killarney bumper last time. Hurdles bow and will be interesting to see how she fares.
Landed modest six-runner mares maiden point in April and makes debut under Rules here. More needed but is open to improvement.
50/1 runner-up in Cork maiden hurdle in April was a big step forward but hasn't backed that up in three starts since. Jockey booking catches the eye though so worth a market check.
21-race maiden who has had plenty of chances and been placed seven times. Stays well but seems to always find a few too good. Drop in trip not certain to suit.
Pulled up all three starts in points and hasn't shown too much to write home about in two starts so far under Rules. Was hampered last time when beginning to stay on so may be slowly getting her act together. More needed though.
Weakened 2 out in Roscommon bumper on Rules debut last month, then beaten a long way on hurdles bow at Kilbeggan last time. Others make much more appeal. Wears first time tongue-tie.
Very poor form in points and in two starts so far under Rules. Very hard to see her improving enough to figure even at this modest level.
Frustrating mare who has been placed in 6-11 career starts but has yet to ger her head in front. Ran well for a long way at Galway last week and a similar effort should take her close once again at this lower level.
Has shown some promise in all four bumpers starts so far without managing to reach the frame. Could be the type to do better over timber and is one of the likelier outsiders.
Maiden pointer who showed a modicum of promise on Rules debut in Wexford bumper recently on first start since March. Should strip fitter and makes hurdles bow under last year's winning jockey.
Placed in a bumper last year and was good second in Punchestown maiden hurdle penultimate start. Looked very one paced at Limerick last time but has a chance if returning to form of previous effort.
Presenting mare who has shown no worthwhile form in five starts under Rules and looks to have a very stiff task on what we've seen from her thus far.
Went close a couple of times between the flags but hasn't looked anything special in two starts so far under Rules. Faded from 3 out last time in Wexford maiden hurdle and was well beaten.
Finished a long last of six on only previous outing and makes debut for new yard. This half-sister to a winning 3m chaser may need more time and a distance of ground too.
Vale Of York filly makes her racecourse debut. Half-sister to two Flat winners, and unraced dam out of half-sister to two Group 2 Flat winners. Worth a glance to see if there is any market interest.
Formerly with Johnny Murtagh on Flat. Went close last September in Gowran Park 7f nursery h'cap. Joined top yard prior to fair fourth in 9f Ballinrobe handicap in June. Sixth on jumps bow at Limerick latest. Good chance if she stays.
Runner-up on debut in Tramore bumper in June then fourth in Down Royal bumper time after. Caught the eye staying on into seventh at Limerick last time and that form entitles her to plenty of respect at this level.
Unplaced in six Flat starts at up to 1m2f at a very mdoest elvel and makes jumps debut. Needs to turn over completely new leaf if she is to make her presence felt.

There was little to choose between Karanelle and LETS GO AGAIN when both were unplaced in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time, but the latter appears a more solid stayer and was doing some good work at the finish. She may well step up to the plate in a very modest event. Lucky Phil is a danger and ran well for a long way at Galway recently, while bumper winner Celine Sporano and Bridgets Cross, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, are others with a shout in a race with far more quantity than quality.
