Verdict

Those with experience don't set the bar high so it's likely best to focus on the hurdle newcomers, with Irish raider DIGNAM standing out on Flat ability. German recruit Lord has joined a good stable for his hurdle career and might provide the main threat.

Verdict
Fairly useful on Flat (stays 9.5f), creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh last month. If he can translate anything like that level of ability to hurdling he'll be hard to beat.

Verdict
Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Joined an in-form stable ahead of his hurdle debut and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Verdict
Fair maiden on Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling when third in a C&D juvenile (good) 26 days ago. That form is barely modest but she's open to improvement.
