John McConnell has been doing well with his point-to-point recruits and THE GREY MONTY will be expected to show up well here after costing 95,000 pounds following a win at Dromahane in December. A tongue-tie is fitted for the Rules debut of the Montmartre half-brother to a winning hurdler. Call Her Now was even more expensive after beating a useful type in a point-to-point at Necarne last year. She is now fitted with a hood after finishing third on hurdling debut at Cork last month. Scenic Look had a good run on the Flat at the Curragh on Wednesday and has the rating to go close, while The Gradual Slope wasn't beaten far when fourth at Killarney and has place claims.

Dual bumper winner LEVEL NEVERENDING got off the mark over hurdles when landing a 2m3f maiden here last month. The runner-up franked the form at Ballinrobe during the week and Joseph O'Brien's charge should be able for this longer trip. Classy Flat horse Chiricahua took a while to get the hang of jumping but got his head in front when stepped up to this trip at Cork. With that confidence booster under his belt, he's likely to make a good race of it with the selection. Dual point-to-point winner Rockanrye won on hurdles debut at Killarney last month. She needs to step up again but her rider's claim means she receives a handy stone from the likely market principals.

Point-to-point winner WHATSSTOPPINGYOU made a bright start in handicaps when third in a big field over this trip at Punchestown. The consistent runner-up Lady L'Ierom has since finished second again at Ballinrobe and Ray Hackett's mare can go close here in an ordinary contest. Porky Rush was placed in a couple of handicaps under this amateur rider last year and again showed promise when runner-up at Downpatrick last time. He's unlikely to be far away. Silverstrand, not beaten far in fifth at Wexford, and Rosy Story who showed more when sixth at Ballinrobe during the week, are others to consider.

MILLYINTHEMIDDLE pulled up on her last two runs but ran well in a hot Galway handicap in 2020 and should improve for a pulled-up run in March. Connections might again target that Galway race in July but her current 99 rating is below last year's bottom weight, so she might need a win to get in. Flat sprinter Tullypole Annie has done well over hurdles recently, with Run Like Fada finishing two lengths third to her at Ballinrobe. The pair are closely matched, although Run Like Fada is less exposed. Helios Smart, a sibling to the smart Cracking Smart, could progress entering handicaps, while Makfils was hampered at Galway last September but needs improvement to win on reappearance.

Third-season novice MIDNIGHT RUN lacks a recent outing but has smart fencing form. A faller in the Drinmore when last seen in November, he had previously run good races in defeat, particularly at Fairyhouse in early November, and contests a lesser race here over a suitable distance and surface. Call Me Lyreen was himself useful over hurdles and while he should benefit from his chase debut at Ballinrobe, it was nonetheless a disappointing run and he might struggle to beat the selection. Watch House Cross, who ran well at the Punchestown Festival, and useful hurdler Act Of God both have plenty on their plates on their chase debuts.

JACK HACKETT hasn't won since September 2020 but is in good form and is suited by course, distance and good ground. He has won over C&D in the past and bumped into a nicely handicapped winner, again over C&D, last month and today's same rider again claims 7lb. Presenting Point failed to make use of his lower hurdles mark at Punchestown recently but nonetheless ran well and being a three-time chase winner who likes this distance and ground, should be competitive. My Manekineko, a nine-time winner from 116 races, continues to run well and was a chase winner in March. Weihnachts is capable at this level but almost all his form is on testing ground.

UNCLE PHIL could have his task simplified as State Of Honor has strong claims in another maiden bumper at Tramore on Saturday. Out of a winning dam and from the family of Klairon Davis, Uncle Phil ran in a tongue-tie when bumping into a smart winner on debut over course and distance last month and a mere reproduction would give him every chance. State Of Honor has beaten good horses like Kilbarry Chianti, Hey Johnny and Gaelic Arc in three runs and is quite capable, although her presence is not guaranteed. Silas Marner was Listed-placed at Limerick in March 2021 but disappointed a little at Down Royal subsequently and jumped poorly on hurdles debut in November. He returns from a break and while lightly raced in recent times, is still just a five-year-old and being Flat-bred, should be suited by a sound surface. Innellan Shore needs to show more.
