Addragoole
Runner-up on first five outings including in a Listowel festival bumper won by the smart Windbeneathmywings; his first two runs over hurdles at Galway and Gowran earned him a 123 rating for his handicap debut at Leopardstown; failed to make his presence felt then, but could be hard to beat back in maiden company for in-form stable.

Buckaway Freddie
Second in five-runner Naas bumper last February; failed to build on that a month later at Leopardstown; neglected in the market when a remote seventh on hurdling debut at Tramore in November, seemingly unsuited by the track.

Hitak
Took the notable scalp of prolific points winner Winged Leader at Dromahane last season, the middle leg of a point hat-trick for Ellmarie Holden; pulled up on rules debut in a strong Naas hunter chase won by Its On The Line; suffered the same fate in a weaker hunter chase at Limerick last month; likely to find this trip inadequate.

Mack The Chemist
Failed to live up to expectations as favourite for a Cork maiden hurdle on debut last March, though managed a fair fifth; another solid effort in a Ballinrobe bumper in April; after a break, made a few mistakes at Limerick last month; needs to raise his game.
