Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D P Holden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead

20/1

Gold Well gelding out of a Kahyasi mare. Beaten 55L on debut over hurdles at Navan last month but likely to improve here. Represents a yard who boast a 46% win and place strike rate at this meeting on New Years Day since 2017.

More Music²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Treacy

100/1

Well beaten on all three career starts over hurdles since his debut at Fairyhouse in October. Hard to fancy on overall evidence and others hold sturdier claims in this contest.

Form: P-008

California King¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: H Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Power

100/1

By Most Improved out of a Dushyantor mare. Beaten 103L on hurdling debut in a Naas 2m3f contest last month. Plenty to find on second start.

5/1

Pleasing run to finish third of 14 beaten 8¼L in a Limerick 2m3f soft/heavy ground maiden hurdle when last seen in November on second start over timber. Any market support could be significant.

Form: 8003

Arbor Vitae³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: Mrs D A Love

66/1

Daughter of Arcadio out of an Oscar mare. Cost €5,000 as a three-year-old. Sister to the useful 2m - 2m4f hurdle winner I'm A Game Changer. Makes limited appeal on hurdling debut following three dismal bumper efforts so far.

Form: 8U8

Lady Mccabe²⁸⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: M P Fitzgerald

33/1

Well tried in bumper company finishing in the frame in two of her six starts since May 2018. Not seen since March with market likely to be the best guide on return to action on hurdling debut.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Richard Condon⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

100/1

Mustameet half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler Laser Light. Well held in three starts over hurdles since October and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

Form: P000

Backonthehill

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: S A Shortall| T: E Sheehy

100/1

Daughter of Stowaway out of a Shantou mare. Dam unraced. Possibly best watched on debut with the Co Kilkenny yard without a winner over hurdles this term from 15 starters.

Forecasts

Fortune Street (6/4), Lord Royal (2/1), Multifactorial (7/2), Tune The Chello (5/1), One For Joe (5/1), Owenacurra Lass (9/1), Man On The Run (14/1), Axiomatic (16/1), Farmix (16/1), Low Lie The Fields (20/1), Mooltazem (25/1), Lady Mccabe (33/1), Arbor Vitae (66/1), More Music (100/1), California King (100/1), Backonthehill (100/1), Baby Sioux (100/1), Thatlldo (100/1)

The Henry De Bromhead yard have had four winners and two placed efforts from 13 runners in the last three years at this New Years Day meeting and are represented here by TUNE THE CELLO who can improve on a promising hurdling introduction at this venue over 2m last month finishing fourth of the 15 runners on a pleasing hurdling debut. The stable landed the spoils with Mormon 12 months ago and can win again with the daughter of Ask ahead of The Paul Nolan-trained Fortune Street and Multifactorial for the Gordon Elliott yard. Both trainers having enviable records at this meeting since 2017.
