5/2
Useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 4/1, good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely has more to offer yet.
22/1
Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 8/1, below form sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
4/1
Once-raced winner over hurdles. 7/2, won 7-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (22.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 50 days ago, driven out. Trainer going well. Remains open to improvement.
4/1
Promising type. Back from 4 months off when taking 8-runner novice hurdle at this course (22.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago, keeping on well. May well do better yet.
7/1
Disappointed at Navan latest but had opened account over hurdles at Punchestown (20f) previously and must enter calculations here.
66/1
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 6/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Naas (16f, heavy) 41 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Work to do.
40/1
Modest hurdler. Winner in bumper at Kilbeggan in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 18 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) 18 days ago. Up against it.
6/1
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
6/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.2f, soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Booking of Kenneally a plus. Not out of things.
