Seamus Mulvaney Bookmaker Novice Hurdle
Mrs L Rabson
Lightly-raced point/bumper winner who impressed when opening his hurdles account at the third time of asking in maiden at Cork (17.3f) after 11 months off in July. Made the most of a good opportunity when following up at Perth (2m) and remains with potential for all that this is a much stiffer task.

Four D Partnership
Back-to-back winner on the Flat at around 1½m last summer for William Haggas, before failing to give his running on final 2 outings of the campaign. Closing on the leader when unseating rider on hurdle debut and gained compensation at Killarney (2m) subsequently. Remains potentially useful.

Old Pals Partnership
Notably progressive in 3 juvenile hurdles last season, finishing second in a Grade 1 at Punchestown in April. Well backed but shaped as if better for the run back on the level at Gowran at the beginning of the month and that should put him spot on for this. Sets a clear standard.

Angela Shamoon,G Loxton,Vincent Caldwell
Smart on Flat for Christophe Ferland. Joined Willie Mullins for €400,000 and confirmed hurdling debut promise when making all in a 17f maiden at Galway in August, jumping fluently. Tailed off in the Lonsdale Cup back on the level at York latest but better still to come over hurdles.

Grainne & Kenneth Keogh
Progressive bumper winner who built on her hurdling debut promise when winning 2¼m maiden at Sligo in May, cruising clear despite an untidy leap at the last. Too free starting out on the Flat at Leopardstown the following month and may get taken on for the lead on this return to hurdling.
