14:00 Hutton Glen

Dutch Gold just about has the best form but this is his first start beyond a mile and his pedigree casts some doubts in that respect. HUTTON GLEN was below par from a bad draw last time but his previous efforts bring him right into it. Right Now can also have a say for last season’s winning yard.

14:35 Mobilise

There could be better to come from Leopardstown winner MOBILISE now that he goes beyond a mile for the first time. The obvious danger is Picture Of A City who has solid placed form to his credit and may improve with cheekpieces fitted. Navy Beach is also worth considering.

15:10 James Henry

The 7f trip looked too sharp for JAMES HENRY on his seasonal debut and his new trainer starts him off at a distance that may suit better. Likely dangers include last month’s Roscommon fourth Pinot Gris and Gracesolution who should be better for a recent Fairyhouse run.

15:45 Grecian Slipper

Most of these have questions to answer but perhaps GRECIAN SLIPPER can take advantage of a drop in class and trip. Drummin Life is also dropping in class and could go close. Enfranchise is fit from hurdling and has good prospects on her best British form.

16:25 Tower Of London (NAP)

With Killian Hennessy taking off 7lb TOWER OF LONDON (nap) has a realistic chance of supplementing a Listed win gained at Leopardstown. The improving Matt Connor and the British-trained maiden Ibrahimovic are possible dangers.

17:05 Londonofficecallin

Almost four years since finishing in rear on his only nursery start LONDONOFFICECALLIN gets the vote to add to his recent wide-margin hurdles win at Punchestown. Stoke The Fire, whose only handicap start was in a nursery in 2021, rates a danger along with the progressive All In Peder and recent maiden hurdle winner Striking.

17:40 Merlin Giant

There must be some doubts over the apparent improvement that Impero showed in a conditions event at Killarney and preference is for MERLIN GIANT, who is the far superior hurdler of this pair. He was runner-up in a Flat maiden at last year’s Galway festival. Dubeyeracingcraic is related to two very smart stayers and needs checking in the betting.
