6/1 |
Jacovec Cavern
Dual Flat winner in Britain in 2022; now 0-12 hurdling and well exposed in handicaps; good run to take second in a 3m maiden at Cork last time; place chance again; meets Yoradreamer on 10lb worse than handicap terms.

Drop The Dip
Three-time Flat winner, including twice at Listowel; had a valid excuse at that venue last autumn when found to be clinically abnormal; saddle slipped early when 80-1 chance on hurdling debut at Kilbeggan ten days ago.

9/1 |
Annaghbeg
Three-time point-to-point winner; has shown ability over hurdles; off for 13 months and may need this; trainer runs three, with Colvin making most appeal.

- A P Kelly / P Roche

33/1 |
Bounce Of The Ball
Dam a dual bumper winner; failed to cope with testing conditions on debut at Naas in January; hood now added to tongue-tie.

Bubba Yeats
Yeats gelding out of a 1m4f Flat winner, in good hands but best watched on belated debut.

Colvin
Best of three maiden hurdle runs came when fourth at Down Royal three weeks ago over almost 2m2f; longer trip may help; looks best of trainer's three runners.

Cordal Boy
Not a bad effort first time over hurdles at Sligo but needs to find plenty of improvement.

- Cian Cullinan / James Andrew Fahey

|
300/1 |
Kalgoorlie Gold
Pulled up in both point-to-point starts; same fate in a bumper and a maiden hurdle.

- Mavetherave
- J J Slevin / S R B Crawford

|
22/1 |
Mavetherave
Not beaten far in sixth in a bumper at Perth last month, lacks hurdling experience; trainer has better chance with Colvin.

Tedworth
Has struggled in maiden hurdles at Tramore and Killarney; can be left out of calculations.

Western Ability
Placed in a 2m6f maiden hurdle on good ground at Downpatrick last July; no encouragement from his point-to-point form.

13/8 |
Winning Smut
Posted some useful efforts for Michael Hourigan, though failed to build on a Killarney second last spring; lacks a recent run but can be given a definite chance on debut for Gordon Elliott.
|

|
- Yoradreamer
- P Townend / W P Mullins

|
15/8 |
Yoradreamer
Costly to follow, beaten favourite in a bumper and two of his three starts over hurdles; however, probably worth another chance following second over 2m1f here on latest; that was a better race than this, and the longer trip can help his cause.

- Bridies Bell
- C M Quirke / Una Corcoran
|

Bridies Bell
Dam unraced half-sister to winners Standing Ovation and Kilcullen Lad who both stayed well.

- A M King / J Neilan

|
250/1 |
Merry Martine
No sign of ability in points, blinkered for belated rules debut at the age of seven.
