Bowgate Street
Improved after joining this yard and gained compensation for a head defeat at Galway when winning at Sligo in October; possibly feeling the effects of a busy spell when below best on her final start before a break.

Shadow Paddy
Showed a glimpse of ability in maidens; worth a market check on handicap debut with a first-time tongue-tie.

Ordinary maiden hurdle form; big price on handicap debut at Wexford, never looked like making his presence felt, headgear left off now.

Ameilya
An 81-rated Flat performer won fillies' maiden at Gowran last April; still early days over hurdles; hinted at ability in her first two maiden hurdle attempts before a poor Gowran run.

Getaway Henry
Showed that his 33-1 Wexford win last July was not a fluke when third at the same venue off 6lb higher the following month; returns after a lengthy break.

Diamond Steel
From a leading stable but needs to produce dramatic improvement from three maiden runs during the winter; dam point winner, closely related to Grand National winner One For Arthur, so may need further than this.

Remote third in a maiden hurdle at Tramore after a long break, may do better now with her fitness advanced.

Promise in bumpers and maiden hurdles for Eoin McCarthy in 2021; struggled in three starts for Darren Collins after a long layoff; pulled up at Limerick on stable debut.

Twice placed for his previous trainer in 2023, with his best run coming over 2m4f at Sligo; worth a market check on stable debut.

Nusra
Three-time Flat winner; now more mature than when obtaining initial hurdles experience early in her career; beaten 10l when second at Tramore a month ago but one of the more appealing runners.

Onebrightbluerose
Off the mark in Wexford handicap hurdle last summer; good run when runner-up over fences at Tramore last month; fourth at Clonmel over hurdles four days later (winner followed up on the Flat at Sligo); made a bad error at the fourth (rider lost iron) and another two out when fourth in a chase here last week; 1-20 record over hurdles is a negative but in good form.
