JACKSONSLADY was last seen contesting a Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse and, with good form on easy ground already in the book, the seven-year-old mare looks a generous price at the forecast and is taken to open her account on the level. Emotional Dream is feared most for Kevin Prendergast following her close-up third at Gowran Park last month, while of the others, Rebel Fitz is worth keeping an eye on.
Rebel Fitz did nothing but improve over hurdles during the winter and having run very well in that sphere on his recent return holds good claims to make a successful start on the Flat. Flat-bred Double Double boasts a decent pedigree and having won over jumps last time looks capable of making a big impact. Useful hurdler He'llberemembered completes the shortlist.
Successful at 1m 2f and 1m 4f on good to firm ground; has also won two hurdles. Finished 9l behind Apache Drums when fourth of 16 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Gowran Park over 1m 4f (soft) last month.

ONE COOL SHABRA was by no means disgraced when fourth in a hot Punchestown handicap at the festival last month and this step up in trip, now switched back to the Flat, is expected to bring out the best in him. Chebona Bula has been knocking the door and must come into the reckoning at a nice price but Gan Locht is feared most following her 2m success on the all-weather surface at Dundalk at the beginning of April.
Successful juvenile hurdler One Cool Shabra looks to have found a good opportunity to open his account on the Flat. Ghareer, back up to much more suitable trip rates the main threat, with recent Dundalk winner Gan Locht completing the shortlist on account of her being unexposed as a stayer.

Division two of the handicap can go the way of MUTISKA. The five-year-old mare is forced to shoulder top weight for this extended 2m contest but clearly sets the standard and can take some encouragement from her solid effort over the extended 2m5f in bottomless ground at Pontefract last month. This looks a more realistic assignment today but don't completely rule out The Rossmeister and Enter The Indian, who will be there to pounce if the selection falters.
Enter The Indian arrives here on the back of a 2½m victory over hurdles and if transferring that level back to the Flat holds leading claims. Sounds of Thunder and Mustika are capable of taking a hand at the weights, though both have questions of one sort or another to answer at present.
A winner at 1m 4f on good to soft ground. Finished 4l behind Never Can Tell when sixth of 8 at 7-1 on his latest flat outing at Chester over 2m (good) in September last year.

Patrick Flynn has saddled four of the last five winners of this race and his 2010 scorer, GALIANNA, is taken to go in again. She has looked as well as ever over hurdles recently, recording win and placed efforts at Navan and Wexford respectively, and looks capable of following up on that emphatic victory here two years ago despite 8lb higher in the ratings. Headford Flyer commands respect after his chase success at Wexford less than three weeks ago, while Idarah, a runner at both the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals this year, cannot be ruled out on his return to Flat duty.
Galianna won this 2 years ago and, having run well over hurdles last time, gets the nod. Concrete And Clay plus Headland Flyer, both also fit and in good form over the jumps, are put forward as each-way alternatives.
Placed in a hurdle race from four NH starts. Finished 17l behind Bay Of Kotor when sixth of 12 at 4-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Navan over 2m (heavy) in December last year.

A chance is taken on SIZING ITALY. The five-year-old son of Milan hasn't disgraced himself in a couple of above average bumper races and looks to face much inferior opposition on this first spin over timber. Roman Flight ran a cracker, finishing runner-up, on his latest hurdles start at Killarney in August and fitness shouldn't be an issue here having had a couple of runs on the level since, while Tugboat, a Flat winner over 1m2f, could be dangerous to leave out of calculations making his NH debut.
Successful on the Flat when with John Oxx, Tugboat is now in equally good hands, and, likely sharper for a recent spin on the level, is fancied to make a winning start over hurdles. Roman Flight and Glamorous did enough last season to suggest they too can play a prominent role, the former fit from the Flat and open to improvement on his return to jumping.

BEE FALLON gets the tentative vote in what looks a wide open handicap. Patrick Day's mare produced a career best performance when chasing home subsequent winner See Double You over 2m5f at Tramore last month and that first start since December is sure to have blown any cobwebs away. Coldwinters looks an obvious danger after his 3m Kilbeggan success last Friday, while Brian Who is one of the least exposed members of this line-up and ran well enough at Down Royal the last day to suggest he can get involved.
Last week's much-improved Kilbeggan winner Coldwinters should go well again despite the shorter trip, but Brian Who still makes most appeal given his latest power-packed finish at Down Royal. Credit Box wasn't disgraced at Cork last time and is another to consider in a wide-open contest.

MR GROOCOCK is taken to make a winning debut for the formidable Willie/Patrick Mullins combination. The master of Muine Beag boasts a cracking 42 per cent strike-rate with his bumper runners at this venue over the course of the last five seasons and tonight's representative, a nicely bred son of Dolpour, is sure to know his job. Crocus Bay has been knocking hard on the door and looks certain to be in the shake-up once again, while Andreas Pride shaped encouragingly in each of her four starts last year and warrants plenty of respect now returning.
Crocus Bay and Andreas Pride are consistent sorts in this sphere, and have place claims again, but this can go to the Willie Mullins newcomer Mr Groocock, who makes plenty of appeal on paper.
