Plenty in with chances but preference is for NEDZER'S RETURN, who has been keeping fit this winter by running between the flags, winning at Lingstown earlier this month. He completed a hat-trick under rules last year, including two good chase successes, and should have the measure of these rivals. Perce Rock is also a recent point-to-point winner with decent form under rules but his jumping is not always foot perfect. Chances might also be given to Chasing Cars, if he can recapture last year's form, Send For Paddy and Saddlers Storm.
Perce Rock would have every chance if translating recent point form to this sphere but his jumping has never been the best, so he comes with risks attached. As things stand, Viking Splash appeals most, with Nedzer's Return and Send For Paddy feared most.

CADOGAN looked a decent hurdler in the making but was off the track for four years before returning this term. His recent second at Punchestown on just his second run over fences suggests he retains a fair portion of his old ability and should be up to scoring here. Gran Torino was second at Fairyhouse this month but well beaten and still has something to find - a remark that also applies to High Desert, a distant runner-up at Navan on his chasing debut. The Shepherd has some good form over hurdles but still has plenty to learn over fences.
This doesn't look a strong race and if Cadogan reproduces the form he showed last time he'll take all the beating. High Desert and Gran Torino look best equipped to challenge of the remainder.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on heavy ground, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 10 behind Hans Crescent beaten a distance at 16-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Thurles over 2m 2f (soft - heavy) last month.

This might not take too much winning and it's worth siding with the progressive HOLD EM COWBOY. He only got as far as the first when falling on his penultimate start but was a good third last time at Thurles and there should be more to come. Consistency isn't Hidden Present's strong point but he scored at Limerick two starts ago and cannot be ruled out. Getting round is a major problem for Vardas Supreme but he's shown enough to suggest he could take a hand with a clear round. The Corby Glen and Yeoman can be given chances.
Hold Em Cowboy's latest effort makes him of interest, while Hidden Present won't be far away if able to bounce back following a below-par effort at Fairyhouse. However, it could pay to side with Vardas Supreme who looked to be getting the hang of things prior to unseating rider on his latest start.

MICKELSON made little impression on his hurdling debut at Clonmel, when seventh of 16, but has looked a progressive sort in 'bumpers' and is worth giving another chance to today. Lord Redsgirth has gone close several times over timber but disappointed last time out at Perth and is starting to look exposed. Inside Shadow looks slightly flattered by his form figures but cannot be ruled out while Milano Magic did well on his hurdling debut and could run well. Derrychrin is another to be considered on his hurdling debut.
Inside Shadow should pick up a race before long and Mickelson is likely to leave his hurdles debut effort well behind in time but, if he's tuned-up following a 229-day absence, this can go the way of Lord Redsgirth.

ROCKY WEDNESDAY appears to have been found a great opportunity to open his account over hurdles. He left a number of disappointing efforts well behind when fourth in a decent maiden hurdle at Navan latest and any further improvement would make him difficult to beat here. There was only 1 1/2-lengths splitting Hidden Future and Grainne Delight last time and they may be closely matched again, while Baileys Ruffit wouldn't be without a chance if finding top gear.
Rocky Wednesday possess ability but is not one to trust implicitly. Consequently, Baileys Ruffit gets the nod in the hope that she is over whatever caused her to perform poorly when last seen out, and that she is fit for this return to action. Hidden Future should be in the mix if reproducing the form of his latest effort, while likely improver Grainne Delight is also respected.

It's difficult to look past the hat-trick seeking BAY OF KOTOR here. He stepped up on his workmanlike Fairyhouse success when scoring readily at Navan last week and a 6lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop him going in again. Takestan is 13lb better off for a 14-length beating by the selection nine days ago and he should be able to close the gap while past C&D winner, Rookery Rebel, has each-way claims.
The hat-trick beckons for Bay of Kotor who is hard to oppose in current form, particularly given that he's a step ahead of the handicapper at present. Takestan is the one for the forecast, with handicap debutant Badger Or Bust most interesting of the remainder.

It could pay to side with SPRING LANE on his racecourse debut. Trained by Gordon Elliott, he is sure to know his job and his half-brother, Shinrock Paddy, won twice in this sphere before going on to claim four hurdle prizes, including one at Grade 1 level. Mount Colah has yet to finish out of the 'three' in four public appearances and should be in there pitching again, while Leish Oscar is worthy of consideration after her promising Down Royal third early last month.
Mount Colah has solid credentials and Hi Big Man showed enough on debut to suggest he'll win a race before long but Leish Oscar may well trump them both if building on her C&D effort early last month. Spring Lane, a newcomer from a leading, in-form yard, needs a market check.
