13:00 Lord Lariat

Two years ago Dermot McLoughlin won this event with subsequent Irish Grand National hero Freewheelin Dylan. He has an interesting candidate now in LORD LARIAT (NAP), an encouraging second at Fairyhouse last time. Fully Charged and Alfa Mix are likely dangers.

14:40 Glen Wyllin

There’s a good chance that GLEN WYLLIN will be improving over this new trip after two big runs in bumpers on his first two starts and he’s the tentative selection in a wide open maiden hurdle. Mr Fred Rogers is an obvious danger stepping back up in trip and Barbary Master may be able to come on from his Galway return.

15:15 Edison Kent

Irish stables have won the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham six years in a row, a reversal of the historic trend. Gordon Elliott, who has supplied three of those six, has seven in this field, a complicating factor.

It could pay to side with Jessica Harrington’s sole runner EDISON KENT, one of those who will need to improve his rating in order to make the cut in March. First Touch could feature off a low weight with a valuable 7lbs off. Whatucallher appeals on the basis of consistency.

15:50 Recognize

Any market support for expensive purchase Cool Survivor is worth noting on his Rules debut and stablemate Smooth Player is another to consider having made a winning debut last month. However, the latter has to concede 7lbs to RECOGNIZE, who shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Thurles on debut and may be able to go one better here. The Big Doyen is another to consider having pulled clear with the runner-up when winning on debut.
