In depth
Formwatch
Greenhope (IRE) Showed nothing outstanding on the flat, but made his hurdling debut a winning one for new trainer (did not beat much); cannot be ignored
Mujalina (IRE) A winner in France, and his won his only start over here since joining Pipe. Did not beat much but probably capable of better; sound chances.
Blue Orleans Very moderate on the flat, won his hurdle debut but was a weak contest and he was a lucky winner.
Arellano (IRE) Beaten 4L on his hurdle debut on heavy ground, which places stamina question marks, but a decent performer on the flat; cannot be dismissed.
Border Edge Making his hurdles debut, moderate flat form and best watched today.
Celtic Star (IRE) Ran green in front last time; likely to find others better.
Lanoso (IRE) On all known flat form has to be the outsider of the pack for his hurdle debut.
Picture Palace Has finished second to some good sorts; placed form at best
