Hipop De Loire

Jockey: P Townend Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 8/11-12 F: 2-

4/9

Comment: Listed winner on the level in Germany; sole effort over jumps came on yard debut at this meeting last year when only beaten roughly 1l; didn't get a clear run when fifth in the Ebor and may have needed his return at Roscommon earlier this month; stamina for this sort of test is the main question but stayed on well in his defeat here last year and he's the yard's first-string; the one to beat.

4/1

Comment: Won four on the Flat in France; has hit the crossbar in three of his runs over timber, all in Britain; arrives on the back of respectable effort on the level in the Nortumberland Plate; handles this ground and capable of having a say.

Soldiers World

Jockey: Mr D L Queally Trainer: Declan Queally Age/Wt: 5/11-12 F: 21

7/1

Comment: Well held in points but much more promise in two bumper starts, finishing runner-up in a Listowel bumper before going one better at Wexford last time, making all in first-time visor (discarded); should be more to come back up in trip and warrants respect on hurdle bow.

Son Of Anarchy

Jockey: M P Walsh Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: 4674-2 OR: 118

8/1

Comment: Improved when runner-up (beaten roughly 1l) in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month; jumping needs to improve but the step up in trip could help on that front and his pedigree suggests it may suit too (dam 3m chase winner); big player.

Coded Welder

Jockey: Sam Ewing Trainer: Paul Mulligan Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: O32

12/1

Comment: Ran out when in the process of running a big race in a bumper on rules debut and has hit the frame in two subsequent maiden hurdles; stayed on well when runner-up at Tipperary earlier this month, shaping like the step back up in trip would suit and no surprise if he made the frame again.

Matter Of Opinion

40/1

Comment: Some promising runs in bumpers but not as good on slower ground earlier this year and has been off 143 days; may do better back on a quicker surface here but has plenty to find.

Mighty Berkshire

Jockey: J P O'Sullivan Trainer: Declan Queally Age/Wt: 5/11-12 F: 5

40/1

Comment: His debut earlier this month was a promising fifth of 14 (beaten 14l) in a maiden hurdle at Wexford (2m5f, good); form boosted by the winner and he should improve so has to be on the shortlist.

Plomeur

40/1

Comment: Well held sole point start but stayed on well for fourth over 3m on rules debut when beaten roughly 8l in a Cork maiden hurdle, outrunning odds of 25-1; more required but should come on for that first run in 440 days.

100/1

Comment: Well held 100-1 shot on debut in a Roscommon maiden hurdle earlier this month; was green and the run wasn't without promise but would need to take giant strides to have an impact here.

Coup D'etat

Jockey: Mr J P O'Rourke Trainer: P O'Rourke Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: 96-6P6

125/1

Comment: 0-8 under rules; best run when hitting the crossbar in a Cork bumper in October 2024; shown ability since but has a fair bit to find in this.

Aurora's Bay

Jockey: Mr O T Gilligan Trainer: Paul John Gilligan Age/Wt: 5/11-12

150/1

Comment: Harzand gelding; half-brother to bumper winner The Long Point; dam well held in bumpers, half-sister to Australian/NZ 5.5f-1m3f winner Seth's Blessed, is granddaughter of 1m2f winning half-sister to top-class 1m-1m4f performer Pebbles; this looks like a tough ask for a newcomer.

Premier Banner

Jockey: J G Gilligan Trainer: Paul John Gilligan Age/Wt: 5/11-12

150/1

Comment: Berkshire gelding; dam unraced half-sister to 1m6f Flat and smart 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Starchitect, out of 1m2f Listed winner; likely best watched on rules debut in an above average maiden hurdle here.

Jockey: S Fitzgerald Trainer: Michael Winters Age/Wt: 5/11-5 F: 9

Comment: Tailed off in four runs at huge odds in bumpers; now tries further and she's hard to make a case for; wears first-time tongue-tie.

Gorvitho

Jockey: S F O'Keeffe Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 6/11-12 F: 3-0

Comment: Distant third of 20 on yard debut at Tipperary in November but was tailed off when odds on for a subsequent maiden hurdle at that venue (reportedly blowing hard post race); not one to write off but yard's second-string.

Obey The Order

Jockey: T Power Roche Trainer: P J Rothwell Age/Wt: 5/11-12 F: 0

Comment: Wide margin winner of a point in October and may have found 2m sharp in a Punchestown Festival bumper when last seen; dam a point winner and half-sister to Bleu Berry so good chance 2m6f will suit.
