Barbizon^t1⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott

13/8

King Of Change gelding who was progressive on the Flat for John Joseph Murphy, posting a useful effort when doubling his tally in 5-runner minor event at Punchestown (9.3f, good to soft) 61 days ago, well on top finish. Interesting now hurdling for top NH stable. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Ben Hur¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: N Meade

6/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who was off 13 months prior to finishing seventh of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, heavy, 25/1) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Entitled to be sharper here and market can guide now attentions switch to timber.

Form:

Brother Hollie^t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Treacy| T: M M McNiff

200/1

250/1 and tongue strap on, last of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (15.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago, jumping none too fluently and left behind from 3 out. Best watched on the back of that.

Form: 0

Dahoma²²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally

125/1

Fair form in maidens on Flat (stays 1m) for Joseph O'Brien but unpromising start starting out for new yard when last of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 22 days ago.

Form: 9

Faire La Nouba¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Cian Quirke| T: John F O'Neill

150/1

Fair maiden on the Flat but has run below that level in pair of hurdle outings to date, albeit out of his depth when well-beaten sixth of 8 to Minella Study in Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle (150/1) at Wetherby (2m, good) 16 days ago. This less demanding at least.

Form: 76

Glen To Glen⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P O'Brien

5/1

Useful performer on Flat (stays 1¼m) and whilst below his best on each of his last 2 starts in that sphere, he represents a yard who boast a good record in this code. Interesting if the market speaks favourably about him.

Form:

Mcloughlin¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

33/1

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventeenth of 23 in maiden (18/1) at the Curragh (12f, heavy) 14 days ago. Market can likely point the way on hurdles bow.

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Phillip Enright| T: O McKiernan

20/1

Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fifth of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Down Royal (10.5f, good to soft). First run for yard after leaving John Nallen.

2/1

Fair form in Flat maidens (steadily progressive) and some promise when fourth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, soft) on NH debut 65 days ago. Looks sure to have derived plenty from that and he's considered with the prospect of better to come.

Form: 4

Boogie Inthejungle¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: G P Cromwell

300/1

Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 19f) Red Riverman. Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Eighth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Dundalk (12f) 18 days ago. Betting can guide as one of 2 runners from this stable.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Eoin Walsh| T: P Magee

66/1

Coulsty gelding. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 27f) Midas Way. Fair winning handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), below form when eighth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Listowel (11.1f, soft) 55 days ago.

Searcog¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee

10/1

Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 11f) who showed some aptitude for this job when fourth of 14 in juvenile hurdle (16/1) at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. plugging on. Will likely need to improve on that bare form if she's to land this, however.

WACKESTONE was steadily progressive in Flat maidens but left the impression he'd come on plenty for his hurdles debut experience when fourth in a juvenile contest at Ballinrobe 85 days ago. He gets the nod to confirm as much, ahead of his stablemate Barbizon who reached a useful level on the Flat. Fellow Flat recruits Glen To Glen and Ben Hur complete the shortlist.
