12:00 Bob Olinger
Having missed his intended chasing debut at Punchestown, last season’s Ballymore winner BOB OLINGER faces a sterner test here but should be equal to it. Dual Grade 2 novice hurdle winner Ashdale Bob looks the pick of the opposition, but there is no lack of depth here. Coqolino, Column Of Fire and Master McShee are very capable types, and the veteran Bacardys, though not a natural chaser, was a high-class hurdler at his best.

12:30 She’s Some Doll (NAP)
Difficult to look beyond SHES SOME DOLL (nap), who has plenty in her favour and shaped well last time at Thurles. Expect Banjo and Handsworth to be thereabouts, while Secret Cargo has solid enough credentials in an ordinary race too.
13:03 Ilikedwayurthinking
With cheekpieces fitted ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN may jump more tidily than when winning at Galway. He can continue on the upgrade. Fan De Blues has made good progress since beaten by Montagne D’Argent here last season and looks capable of a big run under top weight
13:38 Lonesome Boatman
Willie Mullins has won this maiden in five of the last seven years and has an interesting contender in Deploy The Getaway who ran only once last season after a long gap since his debut point-to-point win. However, with his Galway festival second boosted LONESOME BOATMAN may have the winning of this. Indigo Breeze, Harry Alonzo, Rajsalad and Tempo Mac also have right sort of profile for maiden success at some stage.
14:13 Saint Felicien
Promoted 5lb to 131 following his second in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel, Dark Voyager holds a clear advantage in terms of jumping experience over the other three winners. However, he is not certain to cope with Gordon Elliott’s import SAINT FELICIEN, whose debut Auteuil victory was achieved with plenty in hand over subsequent winners.

14:48 Young Fitzy
Recent form boosts for Cullaghs Star make him an especially interesting contender but YOUNG FITZY is seemingly on a real upward curve at present and the Queally-trained hat-trick seeker gets the nod. He’s Ok is worth a market check, while We’ll Go Again is no slouch and could have one of these in him before the winter is out.
15:23 Miss Tempo
Cases can be made for plenty but MISS TEMPO makes most appeal if sharp enough on her return from a 169-day break, potentially well handicapped. More Wine Lilly, Western Zara and Cute Cherry hold obvious claims, while Greenpanda could be an each-way play.
