12:50 Dixie Flyer

There may be a number of exposed types in here but DIXIE FLYER is not one of them and he can get back on track in the first-time tongue-tie. Expect another bold bid from Clarens, who has been in fine form lately, and Ever So Cool could have more to come on her third start for leading connections. The Dasher Conway is a bit of an unknown quantity and will be a player if as effective on this decent ground.

13:20 Au Fleuron

Denis Murphy produced AU FLEURON in fine shape to record a debut bumper victory at Tipperary last season. The French-bred can be rated a good prospect for Gordon Elliott’s powerful novice squad and has an ideal opportunity here. Hans Gruber is possibly the best forecast option. Noah’s Light has a solid place chance.

13:50 Hollow Games

Gordon Elliott has won six of the last ten runnings of this Grade 3 and looks set to claim the prize again. HOLLOW GAMES and Ginto stand out from the rest, and the former makes most appeal at this early stage of their respective careers. Lunar Display could earn more black type in third.

14:20 Jimmy Jimmy

A chance is taken on JIMMY JIMMY being ready enough on his return from a 418-day layoff given his unexposed profile and effectiveness on this type of ground. Henry de Bromhead’s pair of Gaspard Du Seuil and Fissa should be on the premises, while Sweet Sting could show up well at a decent price if back to her best.

14:50 Farclas

Gordon Elliott, who won this in four consecutive seasons from 2014, fields a powerful team. Jack Foley’s claim could make all the difference on FARCLAS, though it would be foolish to underestimate stablemates Run Wild Fred and Definite Plan. Pat Fahy won this in 1994 with Nuaffe, and could have a big say with Mister Fogpatches. Discordantly won first time out last season and is also worth considering.

15:20 Cayd Boy

The two likely principals clashed at Wexford last month and are almost inseparable on that evidence. Runner-up CAYD BOY is tipped to emerge best in the rematch with third-placed Mt Leinster.

15:50 The Model Kingdom

Noel Meade tends to steer clear of winners’ bumpers but it is easy to see why he allows impressive Galway winner THE MODEL KINGDOM (nap) to take her chance. She may follow up at the main expense of Flemencello who needs to improve on her Gowran display. A 7lb penalty may count against Agritime and lack of experience is a possible issue in respect of Harmonya Maker.
