Fort Dino

By a leading French sire; decisively won over hurdles at Auteuil on second start last May; first start for new yard after a break but this is competitive and stable jockey deserts; tongue-tie on.

Jockey: Mike O'ConnorTrainer: Henry De Bromhead
3
Friary Road

Dual bumper winner including at this track; won at Navan on hurdles debut last autumn but was clinically abnormal when pulled-up at Killarney after; fell in a handicap here next time; has to find improvement after a break.

Jockey: Shane O'Callaghan(5)Trainer: T M Walsh
4
Gameball

Impressive winner of a Ballinrobe bumper on debut last year for Andrew Slattery and moved to this yard after; won a C&D maiden hurdle in October before finishing fourth to in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 novice; hood added after a break and seems yard's first-string so a contender.
