Comment: Respectable Flat form at up to 1m6f for William Haggas; ran well to be fourth in two maiden hurdles at Cork before a lesser effort at Clonmel; has been wearing a hood or tongue-tie so far over hurdles but goes in nothing here.

5/1

Comment: Yard amongst winners in this sphere recently; much improved effort second time out at Killarney (2m1f, yld-sft) when beaten just 2.5l into third of 13; makes most appeal of those with previous experience.

Comment: First reserve; Walzertakt filly; 13,000euros yearling; first foal; dam runner-up in French 2m1f hurdle, sister to 1m5f Flat and 2m/2m1f hurdle/chase winner Le Precieux; respected source and worth monitoring in the market if getting a run.

Blue Waters

Jockey: Reserve 3 Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 4/11-3

13/2

Comment: Third reserve; second runner for yard; 44,000euros Blue Bresil filly; dam from a talented family; worth a market check for leading yard if getting in.

Barrys Spirit

Jockey: Mr D G Lavery Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 4/11-10

8/1

Comment: Poet's Word gelding cost 25,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to The Other Mozzie and Mozzies Sister who have won plenty for this yard; interesting debutant worth a market check.

10/1

Comment: 20,00euros Masked Marvel gelding; dam French 2m3f hurdle winner, sister to smart 1m7f-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Le Patriote, half-sister to French 3m Grade 1 hurdle winner La Segnora; yard 10-30 in bumpers here; market should reveal plenty.

Jodoro

Jockey: Mr D McGill Trainer: Dermot Anthony McLoughlin Age/Wt: 4/11-10 F: 4

14/1

Comment: Offered something to build on when an 11l fourth of 10 on debut at Down Royal; was sent off at 11-2 that day so must have been showing a bit at home; each-way shout.

20/1

Comment: Showed a bit more on second start but failed to justify strong market support at Wexford last month when sent off the 7-4 favourite; will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Jockey: Mr Alan O'Sullivan Trainer: T Hogan Age/Wt: 4/11-10 F: 635

22/1

Comment: Improved from moderate debut effort to finish a 4.25l third of 16 at Tipperary; not as good on easy ground at Killarney on latest; probably needs the rain to miss.
