Allez Colombieres could make his debut for Willie Mullins in Sunday's Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
Bought in France for Rich Ricci after winning three of his four bumpers, the four-year-old is already prominent in the betting for the Cheltenham novice events in March.
If Mullins decides not to give him his first taste of Irish racing in Grade One company, the champion trainer could still rely on Nichols Canyon or Max Dynamite.
Gordon Elliott's exciting No More Heroes will be a tough nut to crack, however, having looked impressive to date this season.
Dermot Weld's Tandem is another with a bright future, while Aidan O'Brien could run Draco.
Tom Mullins' Princely Conn had looked promising until disappointing last time out, and Alan Fleming has two possibles in Investmentsuccesses and All You Need.
All Hell Let Loose for Sandra Hughes and the Venetia Williams-trained Otago Trail, winner on his hurdling debut at Carlisle, complete the list.
