Rebel Budz (IRE)

Has progressed well with racing and having finished second to a subsequent winner at Thurles in October, then won a useful maiden in January. He stays well and is worth following during the spring.

Ellies Rock (IRE)

A lightly-raced eight-year-old, she was well supported when finishing second to a better-handicapper winner at Punchestown in January but having been raised only 2lb, should win a handicap soon.

Moon Mission (GB)

Placed third on bumper debut, the five-year-old has stepped up in distance on his most recent starts and having caught the eye on handicap debut at Punchestown on January 11, looks likely to win soon.

Magic Sadler (GB)

Master Haku (IRE)

Showed promise on debut and while beaten for the second time by Grey Jude again at Cork in November, was beaten just a head on that second start and can win next time.

Grey Jude (IRE)

Has progressed nicely in his career thus far and at Cork on November 2, bumped into a capable type for the second time. He should win over hurdles soon.

I'll Sort That (IRE)

A dual bumper winner, he showed smart form to make all and defeat a subsequent-winner into second over hurdles at Listowel in September.
