'Intriguing debutant for Willie Mullins, not least to see this rider linking up with him'

'Runner-up in this last year and unlikely to be too far away; won't get an easy lead'

'150 rated last year; well suited by the race conditions if at his best; the one to beat'

'Leopardstown winner shapes like he will go better this way round; should be a big player'

'No hurdles run for 13 months; off since October and capable of running well fresh'

'Off since mid-division in a valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney in May; best watched'

'Off for more than two years and hard to fancy here'

'Not seen since down the field in a beginners chase at Galway in July; makes little appeal'
