Point recruit who ran to a fair level when third of 13 in bumper (7/1) at this course (2m, good to soft) on Rules debut 24 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Yard in good form.

Form: 43/3

Dorie Miller^p1²²

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (19f, good to soft, 100/1) 15 days ago but the form is barely modest.

Form: 405P9/

Little Ginger²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Fahey

7/1

Made it third time lucky in bumpers when seeing off 10 rivals at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 22 days ago. The drop back to around 2m isn't sure to help now hurdling but he should have a future in this sphere.

Form: 44/1

Livio²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins

6/4

Grade 3 bumper winner in France in 2024. Encouraging start over hurdles after 20 months off when third of 12 in maiden at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) last month. The one to beat with improvement likely.

Form: 1/3

Million Dollar Man²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Harvey| T: Thomas Corish

50/1

Pulled up in a point. 200/1, showed a bit when sixth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Clonmel (2½m, good) on Rules debut but not enough to suggest he'll play a prominent role here.

Form: P/6

Mount Mandela²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Gavin Brouder| T: C A McBratney| OR: 104

Modest maiden hurdler who looks up against it here.

Form: P0/9

Scotty Joe²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Brian Barry⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

40/1

Point winner. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when just under 15 lengths sixth of 16 in maiden at Kilbeggan on hurdle debut. Open to improvement.

Form: 4P1/6

Undertheinfluence¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Carl Millar⁽⁵⁾| T: N C Kelly

66/1

80/1, eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle (80/1) at Downpatrick (19f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Looks more one for the longer term.

13/2

Fair Flat performer in France and ran to a similar level when third of 14 in juvenile at Cork (17f, good to soft) on hurdle debut 27 days ago. Likely to improve.

Lizzie Twigg⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott

13/2

Poet's Word mare who was well backed when making a successful debut in 13-runner bumper at Down Royal (17.5f, good to soft) in March. Only fifth in a Fairyhouse listed bumper 18 days later but still rates an interesting recruit to hurdling for her top stable.

Form: 15/

Navy Waters³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle| T: W McCreery| BF

10/3

Fairly useful Flat winner. Good fifth of 15 in handicap (5/1) at Cork (1½m, heavy) 34 days ago. Could have a say if taking to her new discipline.

Rosie Brown³⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms H P Markham

150/1

Modest form at best in bumpers for Peter Maher (beaten 21 lengths when third at Sligo last summer). Best watched now hurdling after 10 months off.

Tiffany Mae³³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Power⁽⁷⁾| T: S Aherne

LIVIO made a positive return from a long absence when third on his Killarney hurdle debut last month and can enhance Willie Mullins' good recent record in this race. Gordon Elliott is another top trainer who is no stranger to success in this maiden hurdle and his bumper winner Lizzie Twig is feared most ahead of last month's Cork third Sestini. Navy Waters is good enough on the Flat to think she could make an impact if taking to hurdling.
