Ciao Adios
Dual Flat winner won a Cork handicap hurdle (2m) two starts ago but wasn't as good over 2m2f at Downpatrick off this mark; this shorter trip will probably suit better.

Wajaaha
Three hurdle wins including over 2m2f at this track in 2020; poor on soft the last twice but would have a squeak if getting back to some of his form of last year.

Colvin
The best of three maiden hurdle runs came at Down Royal last time over nearly 2m2f; doesn't look particularly well treated but still considered on handicap debut.

Posted fine runs in four bumpers without winning; was poor on debut for this yard but bounced back to win a Tramore maiden hurdle; respected on handicap debut.

Jhentong Enki
Impressive point winner in 2023 but only four runs since, though showing ability in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; the market can guide after a year away.

Malbay Madness
Dual Flat winner didn't really go on over hurdles but got off the mark over C&D last time; raised 7lb but he won snugly so has to be on the shortlist again.

W B Easy
A fine run on debut in a valuable sales bumper last year but hasn't progressed from that; soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles but can't be ruled out on handicap debut; hood worn last time is removed; check market.

Record of 1-19 over hurdles; regressive in the last year and was poor in testing ground on return; this suits better but others preferred.

Got off the mark over hurdles in a Bellewstown maiden last time; that wasn't a strong race but he goes well on good ground so has to be respected.

Yet to win but was placed in two maiden hurdles at this track last year; beaten 12l as 4/1 fav' behind Malbay Madness in a C&D handicap last time; could get closer today.

Some decent maiden hurdle runs in defeat for Henry de Bromhead last year but was below that level on debut for this yard after a break; still one to consider if strong in the market on h'cap debut; tongue-tie added.

Some decent Flat runs lately, though below form on soft last time; well beaten in three completed maiden hurdles, albeit strong races; worth a market check on handicap debut.

First reserve; has a record of 2-24 over hurdles and placed six times for former yard; well beaten on chasing debut when last seen and will have to be at his best for a new trainer.
