CELESTIAL PROSPECT has shown some promise in three maiden hurdle starts to date and, while not seen in this sphere since the beginning of May, two respectable spins on the level at Fairyhouse and Sligo will have freshened him up and the son of Galileo looks the one to be on. Salazaar comes into the reckoning and may have improved again for his C&D fourth behind Swampfire, while Stop N Stare is another for the shortlist.

The 132-rated BLAZING TEMPO should come out on top following a really encouraging display when third in a Killarney handicap late last month. The daughter of Accordion has clearly put a somewhat lacklustre effort in the Galway Hurdle behind her and Willie Mullins' eight-time winner sets a very good standard in this company. Annie Other knows her way around here and found her form in a chase at Wexford in July, while Definite Class also reverts from fences and she is feared most.

Talab looks to have it all to do under top weight so THE BOAT PEOPLE makes most appeal. Henry De Bromhead's charge made a pleasing return from a break when fourth on his handicap bow at Tramore in June and, likely to have come on for that effort, he gets in under a nice weight and could be able to defy a subsequent 2lb rise in the ratings. Blaze Of Fire is another interesting contender and is likely to be mounting his challenge late in the day, while Moving On and recent Limerick winner Cerveza Dinero can also make the frame.

It is interesting that Catcherinscratcher reverts to hurdles on the back of two summer wins over fences, but GIMLI'S ROCK impressed when last sighted over timber, albeit in a three-runner event, and he gets the nod. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar took the scalp of Won In The Dark at Cork early last month and there were plenty of positives to take from his subsequent Tramore second over the larger obstacles. C&D winner Shakervilz rates best of the rest.

Sicilian Secret is likely to attract market support following an eye-catching C&D fourth last month but while he's expected to confirm that form in front of Mickelson, it could pay to side with STONEMASTER. The 136-rated hurdler has failed to land a blow in two handicap starts over fences since finishing a creditable sixth in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham, but the drop back from 3m and ease in class will undoubtedly help the son of Old Vic.

In what should prove a real test, winning C&D form will stand LIBERTY COUNSEL in good stead and she's taken to notch a third chasing success. The nine-year-old mare won with plenty up her sleeve here in May and, although now 10lb higher in the ratings, she has conditions to suit and arrives on the back of a pleasing third over hurdles at Bellewstown. Fever Pitch made up eye-catching ground to finish second behind Agus A Vic off a 3lb lower mark at Tramore last month and this longer trip should play to his strengths, while Clicksnmortar is another to take seriously.

A chance is taken on ROHAN'S PRIDE. He confirmed glimpses of promise shown between the flags when finishing third behind subsequent winner Tasitiocht on his debut in this sphere over 2m here in June and tonight's longer trip is almost certain to help. The Willie Mullins representative Wrong Way Corrigan has been hammering on the door and ought to figure prominently once again, while The Buddy Pass warrants respect following his pleasing introduction over this C&D last month.
