Fairyhouse Race 5 - Willowwarm Hurdle (Grade 3)
KALA CONTI (5) beat a subsequent winner in a G2 novices hurdle at Leopardstown last season. Could have more to give after her reappearance handicap success at Down Royal.

Not to be ignored based on his victory in the G2 Donohue Marquees Juvenile Hurdle here during April. GIVEMEFIVE (2) completes the shortlist.
