Ekanse⁵⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

66/1

By Society Rock out of a 1m winning dam. Half-brother to seven winners including Redolent successful between 7f/1m. Not seen since an encouraging debut at Redcar in May last year on sole start for trainer Roger Varian. One to note in the market.

Form: 6-

Narynkol¹⁰²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 84| BF

11/2

Five-race maiden but not without ability in a couple of starts at Nottingham and Ripon in August, his final starts for trainer Roger Varian. Repeat of turf efforts would herald a bold bid on stable debut.

Form: 632-22

Wajaaha³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Halpin| T: D Hogan| OR: 74

9/2

Seven-race maiden on the Flat. Well beaten in couple of hurdling exploits since October but should not be taken lightly on return to this surface.

Bashful Boy⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 72

25/1

Three-race maiden. Makes little appeal based on what the son of Magician has shown for current connections so far.

Form: 435

Final Orders⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 73

25/1

Has failed to go on since good second at Leicester on debut but showed glimmer of hope when 7L behind Good Tidings at Lingfield in September and on his final start for trainer Simon Crisford at Newcastle in October. Watching brief on stable debut.

Golden Valour²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Chris Hayes| T: R O'Brien| OR: 76

1/1

Running with much credit in a couple of starts over C&D since October finishing within 2¼ of the winner on both occasions in handicap company. Has potential to go well back in this company.

Form: 3-88525

Indignation¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R P Downey| T: J C McConnell

50/1

By Frankel out of a Zafeen mare. Cost a hefty €300,000 as a yearling. Nothing of note on dismal debut effort at Sandown over 1m2f on sole start for trainer Sir Michael Stoute. Can only improve on stable debut.

Form: 0

Longbourn^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M A Gallagher| T: E P Harty| OR: 71

10/1

Posted a career best effort when finishing third of 14 beaten 2½L behind Grandmaster Flash over 1m4f last month. Good run over C&D on debut in May and can go well once again.

Form: 403

The Hall

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

12/1

Gelding by Teofilo out of a Montjeu mare. Brother to several winners including Parish Hall and Hall Of Fame, winner over 1m as a two-year-old. Looks interesting on debut.

Allora Yeats⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 54

100/1

Infrequent visits to the track will not be helping the daughter of Yeats as she bids to progress in the game. Well held in a couple of starts at this venue previously and has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 78/535-

Forgetthesurprise^t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Madden| T: N Madden

66/1

Winner of a Killarney 2m1f bumper in July but has produced a couple of innocuous efforts since in October/November. Best watched on Flat debut.

Lucky Phil^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: T Cooper

14/1

Useful 100-rated handicap hurdler for connections. Ran well in defeat over 1m4f last month finishing fourth of 14 beaten 3¼L behind Grandmaster Flash at this venue. Lively outsider.

Form: 34

Will She Pass

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher⁽⁷⁾| T: B A Murphy

66/1

Rock Of Gibraltar filly who cost €1,800 as a yearling. Her dam only raced twice without success. It is unlikely that she will prevail at the first time of asking so best to watch for now.

Rated 84 in August when finishing second of seven at Ripon beaten a neck on good ground over 1m2f on his final start for trainer Roger Varian, NARYNKOL can land the spoils on his first start for trainer Denis Hogan. The four-year-old looks a solid option ahead of Golden Valor for the Richard O'Brien yard and Wajaaha who has gone well in defeat over C&D previously. The Hall for trainer Jim Bolger looks an interesting newcomer while Lucky Phil looks a lively outsider based on his effort behind Grandmaster Flash here last month.
