13:55 Red Ball Of Fire

Loved Out had a good run at Leopardstown last month and looks primed for a big run as he returns to hurdles, but the one to beat is the locally-trained RED BALL OF FIRE (NAP). She was progressive in two placed efforts over hurdles last month with more to come.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

14:30 Tom McGreevy

A desperately weak contest. If Orcadian Symphony could reproduce his fourth to Cask Mate at Limerick in October, he would pick these up and carry them. We will take a chance though with the potentially useful, but very headstrong TOM MCGREEVY, who will never have a better chance.

15:05 Presenting Bonnie

A competitive contest and cases can be made for all of them. Getaway Queen is on a hat-trick over hurdles and is a tough mare to get past. But, another one on a hat-trick is PRESENTING BONNIE, representing an in-form trainer and jockey combination and she just gets the nod.

15:40 Turkestan

Plenty of these have a chance with the likes of Mon Storm and Lusis Naturea holding claims. Local trainer Mark McNiff has a strong hand here with course specialist Mr Moondance. But, preference is for TURKESTAN, who ran a cracker on his handicap debut at Kilbeggan and can improve.

16:15 All Class

Even though she was poor when last seen over hurdles in 2020, it is difficult to oppose ALL CLASS back in this sphere, having shown much improved form on the Flat this season. Saga Aravis is a danger though, up in trip now, while Lady Rocco and Nuttoridge won’t be far away.

16:50 Happy Lad

This looks open. The Caddy Rose ran poorly at Kilbeggan on Friday night and has questions to answer if turning up. HAPPY LAD is off the same mark as when third at Kilbeggan in April and has been in decent fettle on the Flat since, so could sneak this. Stamp Your Feet and New Society should run their races.

17:25 Quiet Escape

Aslukwoodhavit was disappointing at Downpatrick in May and has a question to answer now. He could be vulnerable and preference is for QUIET ESCAPE, who caught the eye at Clonmel last time when quite green and should improve plenty.
