'Listowel bumper win reads well; potentially smart novice hurdler and Townend's pick'

'Form to be closely involved but needs to settle to see out this trip'

'Recent Killarney comeback second augurs well; more likely needed though'

'Sligo bumper winner will surely improve on one previous hurdles run'

'Bit surprising he starts out hurdling over such a trip but respected all the same'

'Encouraging enough Cork debut last month but lots of improvement likely needed to feature'

'Quite smart on flat for Ger Lyons but well beaten here on Monday; wants better ground'

'Runner-up in a point but has shown pretty much nothing so far under rules'

'Tailed off on recent hurdles debut; best watched'

'Never sighted on last month's Ballinrobe debut; best watched for now'

'Tailed off in Listowel bumper nearly 3 years ago for Padraig Roche; can only be watched'

'Beaten a long way on hurdles debut at Kilbeggan recently; will need more time'

'Second in a point'; worth a market check but is likely to find easier maiden opportunities'
