11:40 Singing Banjo
SINGING BANJO goes well over this cross-country course and he made Delta Work dig deep in this race last season, missing out by only a short-head after rallying well up the run-in.
He was well beaten in a point last month but that should have left him spot on for this assignment and he can give another good account over this unique course.
12:10 Tullyhill
TULLYHILL created an excellent impression when winning without coming off the bridle on his bumper debut at Gowran Park in March and he enhanced his reputation when runner-up in the Punchestown Champion Bumper the following month, making A Dream To Share work to take control.
That effort marked Tullyhill out as a top prospect for hurdling this season and he should prove tough to beat on his reappearance here.
12:45 Millstream Lady
MILLSTREAM LADY has been in good order of late and can launch another bold bid. She was disappointing on her first two outings in handicap company but proved a different proposition at Listowel on her penultimate outing, quickening seven and a half lengths clear of Rockbrook.
She finished second past the post behind that rival at Limerick last month when denied a head by a head on 8lb worse terms. She was initially handed the race in the stewards’ room but that decision was overturned on appeal and the original result allowed to stand. Either way, she emerged with plenty of credit and could have more to offer over this longer trip.
13:20 Shecouldbeanything
SHECOULDBEANYTHING ran creditably when fifth in a competitive handicap at Galway in August and raised her game to land a listed handicap at Killarney a few weeks later, impressing with how well she travelled before drawing six lengths clear up the run-in.
She was a good third off a 10lb higher mark at Listowel when last seen a couple of months ago and looks a big player based on the form of her last couple of starts.
13:55 Imagine
IMAGINE was a useful hurdler but he looks set to make a bigger impact over fences based on his impressive success on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse a few weeks ago. Imagine looked a natural at Fairyhouse, jumping fluently out in front and readily asserting under a hands-and-heels ride.
That marked him out as graded material and he can prove as much here.

14:30 Galopin Des Champs
GALOPIN DES CHAMPS was a top-class novice and he proved himself an outstanding chaser in open company last season, winning the John Durkan Memorial Chase, the Irish Gold Cup and Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Galopin des Champs was beaten for the first time when completing over fences by the reopposing Fastorslow in the Punchestown Gold Cup. However, Galopin des Champs was possibly still feeling the effects of his big performance in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and is very much the one to beat on his reappearance in a race he won so impressively last season.
15:00 Gabbys Cross
GABBYS CROSS is able to run off a much lower mark over hurdles than over fences and he ran well when runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Galway last month, doing some good late work behind a progressive rival.
The form of that race was given a boost by the winner scoring at Cheltenham last weekend and the step up in trip should be in Gabbys Cross’s favour, so he is the one to side with.
15:35 Soir De Garde
SOIR DE GARDE represents Willie Mullins here and he boasts an eye-catching pedigree being half-brother to a couple of Grade 1 winners in Statuaire and, most notably, State Man.
State Man registered his sixth Grade 1 victory when landing his second Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on Saturday.
