        Beau Jest Makes hurdling debut today.

        Cocktail Cabinet (IRE) Hurdling debut; twice placed in bumpers, including here last time.

        Corrie Mor (IRE) Two unplaced hurdles efforts to his name thus far but possibly open to some improvement

        Hit Royal (FR) Hinted at ability last year; seasonal reappearance today.

        Mensch (IRE) Unseated rider at the start on National Hunt debut.

        Mitcheldean (IRE) Third at Plumpton last time (2m,soft) and the winner and runner-up there have won since; an obvious contender today.

        Serious Position (IRE) Ran a little better last time than previously but, even so, has cut little ice thus far over hurdles.

        Saxon Queen Not much in the way of promise thus far.

        Sunshine Leader (IRE) Showed promise in running third on her hurdling debut; winning pointer.

        Two For Joy (IRE) Had to battle to win a bumper on Nov 14 (2m1f,good to soft) at Hereford; the third in that has won a hurdle race since; difficult to fully evaluate but she's entitled to improve and should stay this extra distance.
