Ancient Myth (G)
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) for David O'Meara. Probably best watched on hurdle debut.

Appy Getaway (G)
Justified market support on Kilbeggan bumper debut last August. Off since but evidently capable fresh and should be up to making his presence felt if taking to hurdling.

Loyal Touch (G)

Fair Flat winner. Recent efforts in that sphere no more than respectable and a watching brief is advised now hurdling.

Minella Mate (G)
Bumper/Flat winner who was fifth in his previous hurdle back in July 2023. Arrives fit from some creditable efforts on Dundalk's all-weather in recent months.

Persian Bliss (G)

Useful on the Flat for Adrian Murray in 2025 but nowhere near that level in 2 recent Flat outings at Dundalk for Denis Hogan, with latest second coming in a claimer. Makes hurdle debut.

Small Fry (G)
Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Gary & Josh Moore. Only modest form in 2 hurdles for that yard at the end of 2024 but should be capable of better in this sphere at some point.

Bulgaden Castle (G)
Runner-up in similar races on his last 3 starts, producing an improved and fairly useful effort when going down by only ½ length at Gowran (2m, heavy) last time. Looks sure to be in the thick of thin…

Showed little in 2 points last spring and well beaten on completed starts in maiden hurdles this month.

Cloonbonniffe (G)
125/1, tenth of 23 in maiden hurdle at Navan (2m, soft) on debut 27 days ago. Likely outsider again.

Cullagh Lad (G)
Mahler gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Cullaghs Star, stayed 19f. Dam (h91) maiden hurdler. The betting should help guide to expectations with this debutant.

Dahab (G)
Fair Flat maiden but hasn't offered enough in 2 hurdle starts to think he can make a significant impact here. First run for yard after leaving Noel Kelly.

Master Haku (G)
Plenty of promise when placed in 2m maiden hurdles at Cork in November. Open to further progress for top stable and another bold show likely back from a break.

Tribal (G)
Harzand gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including modest hurdler Hill Station. Dam 1¼m-13f winner in France. Darragh O'Keeffe rides but still a bit of a surprise were he to strike on debut.
