6	Kish Bank b Sam Ewing · Gordon Elliott	Sam Ewing · Gordon Elliott	162	—	11-	-	-	-	319d	—	—	-3	25.7	9/4 31%
Imposing 5yo who should have a bright future and will appreciate the forecast rain
4	Arctic Gale b Donagh Meyler · Emmet Mullins	Donagh Meyler · Emmet Mullins	162	p	-42224	113	121	103	13d	—	—	+11	28.3	9/2 18%
Drop back to 2m here not guaranteed to suit and this could well be a stronger race
12	Mi Lucky Cailin b Jody McGarvey · William J McLernon	Jody McGarvey · William J McLernon	153	—	2227-2	109	127	105	164d	—	—	+11	23.4	6/1 14%
Has the ability to win an ordinary maiden hurdle but may find a couple too good here
7	Custom Taylor ch Shane Fitzgerald · Declan Queally	Shane Fitzgerald · Declan Queally	160	—	42-1	-	-	-	162d	—	—	+3	12.8	17/2 11%
This trip is probably short enough for him on his hurdles debut but is one with a future
5	Downmexicoway ch Mike O'Connor · Henry De Bromhead	Mike O'Connor · Henry De Bromhead	162	—	19/	-	-	-	550d	—	—	-7	13.1	4/1 20%
Betting will guide on hurdling bow on first start for Henry de Bromhead but interesting
11	Scotcantou b Calum Hogan(7) · Eoin Christopher McCarthy	Calum Hogan(7) · Eoin Christopher McCarthy	157	—	593	-	118	95	38d	—	—	0	4.3	20/1 5%
Did okay despite some ropey jumping in a Tramore maiden hurdle latest; one for handicaps
NR	Stuntman Steve b Sean Flanagan · Gavin Cromwell	Sean Flanagan · Gavin Cromwell	160	—	PF-PP1	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.2	11/1 8%
Won his sole completed point-to-point back in May; debuts for Gavin Cromwell here
13	True Light br Danny Gilligan · Mrs Grainne M O'Connor	Danny Gilligan · Mrs Grainne M O'Connor	153	t	0/0555	95	105	38	13d	—	—	+8	12.3	25/1 4%
Maiden hurdle form for her current trainer leaves her with plenty to find
3	Jeel Des Mottes b Sean O'Keeffe · M J Tynan	Sean O'Keeffe · M J Tynan	164	—	6-	-	-	-	175d	—	—	-3	1	25/1 4%
Others more likely but certainly worth watching on his hurdles debut
1	Danny By Boy b Liam McKenna(5) · Declan Queally	Liam McKenna(5) · Declan Queally	165	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	33/1 3%
Bred to stay well and one for the future; stable second string here on debut
NR	Vroomvroomboo ch NON-RUNNER · James Andrew Fahey	NON-RUNNER · James Andrew Fahey	153	t	P-4903	-	99	54	16d	—	—	-2	0.8	33/1 3%
Remote third in a 2m4f Tramore mares maiden hurdle earlier this month; much more needed
2	Famous Sonnet b Ethan O'Sullivan(7) · Ms M Flynn	Ethan O'Sullivan(7) · Ms M Flynn	164	—	8-	-	-	-	209d	—	—	-4	1.4	100/1 1%
Tailed off in a bumper for Charles Byrnes at Cork in March; hard to fancy on that evidence
9	Ballinoe Blaze b G B Noonan(5) · Eoin Christopher McCarthy	G B Noonan(5) · Eoin Christopher McCarthy	159	—	8	-	66	-	167d	—	—	-4	1.4	100/1 1%
Made no impact on his hurdles debut at Killarney in May, much more needed here
10	Stily b Cian Quirke(5) · Michael J McDonagh	Cian Quirke(5) · Michael J McDonagh	159	—	P-0	-	65	10	47d	—	—	-4	1.4	100/1 1%
Jumped poorly and well beaten on his hurdles debut here last month; makes no appeal
