12:15 Harsh

Possibly best to narrow this down to Joseph O’Brien pair HARSH and Jeaniemacaroney, with a preference for the former on the back of his promising opening effort in this sphere at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago. Timeless Piece looks pick of the remainder.

12:45 Western Diego

This is a deep maiden hurdle with WESTERN DIEGO just about the most persuasive option.

He bombed out on his final bumper start during the spring but couldn’t be in better hands. No Time To Wait could be a different proposition this time with Old Port also considered given his Flat ability.

      13:15 Mahons Way

      MAHONS WAY looked good when making a successful start to his hurdle career at Naas and can take the step up in class in his stride. On 4lb better terms What Path and can turn the tables on last month’s same course and distance (C&D) conqueror Solitary Man and given Henry de Bromhead’s charge most to do.

      13:45 Zenta

      Willie Mullins has an excellent record in this Grade 2 event and his smart hurdler ZENTA is fancied to start her life over fences in style.

      Harmonya Maker impressed when going in at the first time of asking in a Gowran novice chase last month and should ensure the selection doesn’t have things all her own way though. Another Mullins inmate Hauturiere appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

      14:15 El Fabiolo

      EL FABIOLO carried all before him over fences last season and the Arkle hero is confidently expected to go 5-5 since sent chasing and maintain Willie Mullins’ stranglehold on this Grade 1 event.

      Henry de Bromhead’s unexposed and still unbeaten Jungle Boogie could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the much more experienced duo of Fil Dor and Maskada.

          14:45 Ricky Bobby

          RICKY BOBBY returned to form back over hurdles last time and he’s well treated on past exploits, so he gets the vote over last-time-out winner McGrath From Clune, who reverts to the smaller obstacles on a handy mark. The Banger Doyle is also considered.

          15:15 Champagne Mahler

          CHAMPAGNE MAHLER took a step forward despite not being subjected to a hard ride when third at Wexford last month and looks an interesting contender up in trip on handicap bow.

          Blossom de Mai and Magic Conqueror arrive in top form having finished 1-2 at Tramore 12 days ago and they head the dangers.
