Black Heather
Won Ballinrobe bumper last summer on good to yielding and showed his liking for a sound surface when readily landing Naas maiden hurdle on Thursday; interesting if turned out quickly.

Mick Collins
Useful maiden, pick of form being 1m2f Leopardstown second last summer on good ground; absent since calamitous hurdles debut at Cork in October (keen, mistakes, slipped badly and burst blood vessel); new headgear combination tried and major chance on his best form.

So Scottish
Very useful National Hunt performer at this best, especially on a decent surface; not at his best in Grand Annual at Cheltenham last month but has to be respected.

Toto Too
Bumper and dual hurdle winner burst blood vessels in consecutive starts last summer; promising yard debut when third in Dundalk maiden over this trip in February and may not need to improve a whole lot to feature here.

Won 2m4f maiden hurdle here a year ago on good to yielding and ran well in much better-class contest at Punchestown festival afterwards; second in 2m4f Navan handicap on soft when last seen in December; don't rule out on Flat debut.
