Fortune The Brave
Kilbeggan bumper winner finished midfield on his hurdles debut at Leopardstown earlier this month; may have needed that run and the extra furlong here is in his favour; should do better.

High Court Cave
Point-to-point and bumper winner; back from a break with two moderate efforts in maiden hurdles at Naas and Punchestown on testing ground; conditions will suit better here but he might be seen to better effect in handicaps.

Quantum Leap
Decent performer on the Flat, winning twice and rated 87 at his peak; hooded (retained) and tailed off on his Irish and hurdles debut on heavy at Punchestown last month; ground more suitable now but can only be watched after that last effort.

Walk On The Beach
Off the mark at second attempt in bumpers at Killarney last August; fine effort on return from a break to chase home an odds-on Mullins' favourite at Naas (15.5f, heavy); should be fine on this sounder surface and this longer trip will suit; leading chance.

Yeats gelding unsold for 19,000euros as a yearling; fifth foal; closely related to bumper winner Lanty Slea; dam 2m2f-2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m5f-3m3f chase winner Wide Receiver and 2m hurdle winner Three Monkeys; one of three for yard; check market.

Glenashling
Has shown glimmers of promise on two of his three starts over timber but has failed to trouble the judge; hood now tried; in good hands but may need a bit more time.

Hello Jack
Solid efforts in first two maiden hurdles at Cork and Fairyhouse, beaten around 16l into third in both; this looks a bit easier than last time out and the better ground here should suit; shortlisted.

Krak
Second of three runners for yard and look the main hope; fine efforts to finish third over 2m4f at Leopardstown and 18.5f at Naas; sets the standard on those two efforts and if he handles the quicker ground (not certain on breeding) and drop in trip he is the one to beat.

On The Cards
Flat recruit 0-8 in that sphere and rated 63 on turf; no show in first two starts for this yard on the level at Clonmel and Dundalk; probably best watched on hurdles debut unless the money comes.

Won a Tinahely point-to-point on soft ground for this yard in 2023; 10yo now makes a belated Rules' debut after a 778-day absence; watch.

Savant Du Mesnil
Third runner for yard; no show in two maiden hurdle starts at Punchestown over 16.5f and here at 2m4f after a 240-day break; this shorter trip should suit better but JJ Slevin prefers his stablemate Krak; others look more likely.

Speedy Box
Plenty of experience in point-to-points but is 0-8 in that sphere; unlikely to be good enough to make a big impact on Rules' debut; best watched.

Sporting Glance
One of two for yard; point-to-point winner; shaped okay in a pair of bumpers at Galway and Killarney last August; off since and makes hurdles debut for in form yard that had a winner at Cheltenham last week; worth a market check on return from a break.

W B Easy
Made a pleasing debut in a Punchestown bumper for Arthur Moore last April; not as good at the same venue second time up when tongue tied; modest effort on hurdles bow for Ross O'Sullivan on latest; best watched with the tongue tie reapplied.

First foal; dam bumper and 2m/2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to winners Strain Of Fame (2m/2m4f hurdle) and Captain Carol (bumper), out of 2m/2m2f hurdle winner; Hillstar gelding probably best watched on belated debut.

Showed promise in solitary start on the Flat in France; 0-3 over hurdles for Tony Martin and was beaten 51l on latest at Gowran; hood and tongue tie combination needs to transform; others preferred.

Wings Of Eagles debutante cost just 2,500euros as a foal; first foal; dam bumper winner, half-sister to bumper winner Kitikat, out of 2m-2m3f hurdle winner from family of top-class staying chaser Teeton Mill; cheap purchase but not a bad pedigree; check the market.

Huge odds and well-beaten in all three starts over hurdles on soft and heavy ground; better ground may help but he is hard to fancy on all known form.
