9	Promising sort who has finished in the frame on both completed starts over hurdles, including when second of 11 in mares maiden at Limerick in February. Third and in process of running well when unseating last at Leopardstown last time. Remains capable of better. 1st Pick 9 Fly Away Home (Ire) Jockey: P. Byrnes Trainer: Charles Byrnes, Ireland J: P.

3	In frame on all 3 starts in maiden hurdles, taking form up a notch when 9½ lengths second of 10 to Generous Risk at Leopardstown on latest. A repeat of that will see him in the mix and Jack Kennedy picking him over a stablemate is clearly a positive. 2nd Pick 3 Haveanothertry (Ire) Jockey: J. W.

8	Sets the standard on her third of 18 Changeyourstars at Limerick in December. Bit below that level when filling the same position at Fairyhouse last time, but well suited by the conditions of this and any sort of step forward will see her go close. Wears first-time Cheekpieces. 3rd Pick 8 Champagne Venture (Ire) Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: D. Broad, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: D. Broad, Ireland	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2
