12:00 – Ardla

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand here with the juvenile Ebasari and C&D maiden winner Au Fleuron. However, it may pay to oppose the pair with ARDLA who impressed with a front-running maiden win here last month. Gavin Cromwell’s import Un Des Flos is also of interest.

12:30 – Belle Metal

If restored to the full of her health after an odds-on failure first time over hurdles, dual bumper winner BELLE METAL should prevail. She is likely to be given most to do by Glen Wyllin, with Manisanda, The Flier Begley and newcomer Jaycean possibly the pick of the remainder.

13:05 – Ash Tree Meadow

An interesting contest. Hybris is of obvious interest on his debut for Closutton, while Gracchus De Balme should come on for his debut here last month. The choice is ASH TREE MEADOW who has performed perfectly well in both starts over hurdles and there could be more to come from him over this trip.

13:40 – Carrigeen Lotus

Last year’s winner Damalisque could be in the mix again, and Gordon Elliott has prospects with Mars Harper and Duffle Coat. However, two small stables have a realistic chance here. The Dick Lalor-trained CARRIGEEN LOTUS should appreciate this stiff 2m4f and may cope with Bread And Butter who has been showing consistent form for Helen Markham.

14:15 – Never Off Duty

Robert Tyner has his team in good form and NEVER OFF DUTY may keep up the good work. His owner has been patient, and his Naas second gives him an edge over Leish Oscars Son and Aa Bee See. Others to consider are Lugg River who did not get far last time, the unexposed Machine Learner and Miss Tempo.

14:50 – Indiana Jones

A few of these have had chances, none more so than The Bosses Oscar although he had a genuine excuse in the Paddy Power. Ain’t That A Shame has scope for improvement, but if he is over his heavy fall at Naas last month, a good standard is set by INDIANA JONES (nap) on his two previous runs and he will take beating.

15:25 – Beating The Odds

Big field and plenty that make limited appeal at best. Routine Excellence has shown little over fences but the form of his maiden hurdle win at Naas last month has worked out very well and he could be very well-handicapped. Others such as the McManus pair Stealthy Tom and Go All The Way have chances. The one to beat could be the consistent BEATING THE ODDS after good runs at Punchestown and Thurles last month with blinkers tried here.

16:00 – Joyeux Machin

An interesting race and plenty have some sort of chance. Nonbinding will go close on his Naas form, Don Chalant debuts for Willie Mullins and the likes of Francis Marion and bumper newcomer Hartur D’Arc make plenty of appeal. The selection is JOYEUX MACHIN, who clearly ran into a good one at Leopardstown last month but finished a long way clear of the rest. He looks above average.
