13:50 – An Mhi

AN MHI impressively opened his account at Ballinrobe last month and Gordon Elliott’s 6-y-o looks the way to go despite having to shoulder a 7 lb penalty. Fiveonefive rates much the biggest threat on the back of his Tipperary breakthrough success, with Izzy Bell rating the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

14:25 – Malangan

Good cases can be made for several of these but it might be worth chancing MALANGAN, who ran quite well last month, after a break, and is on a very good mark now. Last summer’s two course wins were gained under very different tactical rides and it will be interesting to see what they do with him today. Russian Virtue has done very well since the autumn and is second choice, ahead of Just Dottie, Ballinlough Gale and Garde Des Champs.

    15:00 – Walking The Walk

    WALKING THE WALK has been holding his form well in Ireland and should make another bold bid given his stable’s excellent record at this track. The thriving Victory Echo is an obvious threat, while The Ferry Master remains well treated if building on his recent win at Kelso.

    15:35 – Golden Taipan

    Provided the ground does not go softer than good, GOLDEN TAIPAN should have every chance of repeating last year’s win in this race. Cedar Hill ran well last time but all his wins have come over shorter, so perhaps Irish challenger Happy D’ex will pose the principal challenge.

    16:05 – Ballykeel

    2021 winner Landofsmiles looked in excellent nick at Uttoxeter last month, after a long layoff, but an 8lb rise demands more from him here and it could be significant that Sean Bowen has switched to BALLYKEEL, who will be hard to beat if able to replicate the form of his Punchestown festival second in April. Caribean Boy and Definite Plan also have the ability to feature, but neither can be relied upon heavily.

    16:35 – Boomslang

    BOOMSLANG has returned an improved model following a short break, likely to have finished second with a clear run when third in a Cartmel maiden 15 days ago, and he can get off the mark returned to handicap company again partnered by Brian Hughes. Pammi, who goes really well around here, is also worthy of respect, along with Starlyte.

    17:05 – Breizh River

    Gordon Elliott’s British bumper runners are always respected and Faux Fur has good claims here, having shaped with clear promise when third on her recent debut at Ballinrobe. However, this might go to BREIZH RIVER, who travelled strongly for a long way and posted a much-improved performance when second at Kelso last month.
