POETIC TWIST showed promise on both bumper starts before switching to hurdles at Cork last month when keeping on well into second in a 2m3f maiden, with Chosen Princess well behind in fourth. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare should appreciate this longer trip. Samba Train won twice in bumpers and now takes a drop in class after finishing fourth behind Amen Kate in a Listed novice hurdle at Thurles just before Christmas. Early Bird was put over hurdles after winning a Tramore bumper and last time beat all bar Tangara Bay at Clonmel. Miss Jocund and Fraher Field are others to consider.
A big field but not overly competitive and it's POETIC TWIST who appeals most. Runner-up in an Ayr bumper in February, she filled the same position upped to 2m3f on her hurdles debut at Cork and should the extra near 4f of today's race. Early Bird is a solid enough performer and can emerge as the threat - she ran well at 66-1 in a Graded event two starts back - although Samba Train is a dual bumper winner with a bigger effort in her yet over hurdles.
Promising debut when 1/2l winner in a 3yo race at Lyon Parilly; absence to overcome but has joined a top yard; could easily make a winning hurdles debut.

GLENROYAL progressed well on the Flat last year, winning three times including at the Galway Festival, and wound up with a rating of 93. The Australia gelding is a half-brother to smart hurdler Lagostovegas and is sure to be well schooled. Livio won a Grade 3 bumper in France back in 2024 and now makes his hurdles debut for the champion trainer, while point-to-point winner Barnpark is another for the shortlist following his fourth behind Midnight Jet in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle that has worked out well. Hi Ho Idaho has been placed on both hurdle outings, including when runner-up to the odds-on Arcadian Emperor at Clonmel. Splendid Fellow and State Pension are others to consider in a good quality maiden.
Livio is a fascinating hurdles newcomer for Willie Mullins having won a Grade 3 AQPS Flat race over 12f on his sole prevous outing in 2024 but he does have a big absence to overcome. Let's instead side with HI HO IDAHO, who has proven to be useful and consistent without winning to this point of his career and boasts the best form in the race arguably. Splendid Fellow is another solid contender although he could again prove vulnerable.
Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective at 2m1f-2m4f, acts with cut; form of maiden win had knocks.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on soft - heavy ground. Pulled up 2 out when 12-1 at Fairyhouse over 2m 4f (yielding - soft) in a hurdle race won by Katie Daniels last month on his latest outing.

COLUMBUS is a smart recruit from the Flat and gets the vote to make a successful transition to hurdles for new connections. The son of Oasis Dream won three times in France and was Group 1-placed on his penultimate start over 1m4f at Cologne. Master Haku had Midnight Jet 13 lengths behind when the pair filled the placings behind Grey Jude at Cork last November and the pair both got off the mark over timber last month, with Midnight Jet showing improved form when scoring over this trip at Fairyhouse. Mr Hollywood is another useful recruit from the Flat in France for the Willie Mullins team.
Willie Mullins debuts two classy ex-German Flat racers in the shape of Columbus, the mount of Paul Townend, and Mr Hollywood. Both have performed with great credit at Group 1 level and it would be no surprise were either to make a winning start, but MIDNIGHT JET is coming off a solid win at Fairyhouse and is taken to concede the penalty. He's also a former course winner and is proven at the trip. Master Haku, another last-time-out hurdles scorer, can go well also.

WILLIAM TELL progressed nicely last year, building on a promising Rules debut second to register wins over hurdles at Cork and Thurles. The ground might have gone against him when he was last seen and the forecast conditions can see him in a better light here. Duty Bound won at this venue last summer and may have benefited from his latest run on the Flat at Navan, while Maxios Prime has been consistent and merits respect off a light weight. Therellbguddaysyet also warrants a betting check after returning with a creditable fourth at Cork last month.
A competitive heat that can go to THERELLBGUDDAYSYET, who did well back hurdling last time having been hampered and still appeals as being on a fair mark. William Tell is unexposed and a viable alternative on handicap debut, although the mare at the bottom, Maxios Prime, has strung together some decent efforts of late and needs considering also.
Pulled up in Dublin Chase (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-2m6f, suited by cut; inconsistent but capable.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m 1f to 2m 5f on ground varying from good - yielding to yielding - soft. Pulled up at the 4th when 250-1 in the Group 1 Ladbrokes Dublin Chase at Leopardstown over 2m 1f (soft) in a Grade 1 chase won by Majborough in February on his latest outing.

GENTLEMAN DE MEE often shows his best form in the spring and gave plenty of encouragement last time when fourth behind Will The Wise in the Topham at Aintree. He won that competitive handicap over the Grand National fences last year off a slightly lower mark and still retains plenty of ability. Riding arrangements suggest Sa Fureur is preferred of Gordon Elliott's three runners and the Walk In The Park gelding, who was let down by his jumping last time at Fairyhouse, would rate a threat if reproducing his second to Impaire Et Passe at Gowran back in February. Jesse Evans should benefit from a recent outing at Punchestown and looks best of the remainder.
Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand with three credible challengers, the best of which is probably Sa Fureur who is to be ridden by Jack Kennedy. He might struggle to contain GENTLEMAN DE MEE, though. The Willie Mullins-trained selection ran a fine race in the Topham and will again have ground conditions in his favour. Jesse Evans is a rock-solid Graded performer who should be thereabouts once again.

IAMAGETAWAY was sent off a well-backed favourite at Kilbeggan on stable debut for Gordon Elliott. In front before two out, Jack Kennedy's mount was collared in the closing stages on what was his first start for over six months and he can gain a first win over fences with that run under his belt. Rusheen ran well over a longer trip when third at Clonmel, but he has to shoulder top weight and may prefer softer ground. Butty O'Brien made most of the running when recording her first win over fences at Wexford. That was a much-improved performance in first-time cheekpieces and she could prove the main danger, despite a 7lb hike.
Gordon Elliott's IAMAGETAWAY looks the most likely winner of this. He ran well on his stable debut at the course last time and might yet be open to a little progress. Sophia Rose will be happier back at this level with her mark now looking fair. She's the danger, although Oneforgonzo travelled strongly when fourth at Thurles last time and any prorgess on that can see her go well.
Ran to form on hunter chase debut, good attitude when winning a hunter chase at Cork by a neck last time; best around 2m4f; stamina a nagging doubt back up in trip.

Lifetime Ambition ran a blinder when fourth in the Champion Hunters Chase at the Punchestown Festival and that makes him the one to beat. Saying that, he was turned over at odds-on in this race last year and is taken on with SOLITARY MAN. Enda Bolger's eight-year-old has won four times at this venue and will appreciate stepping back up in trip after finishing fourth to Journey With Me over 2m4f at Cork. The latter was a Grade 2 winner over that trip when trained by Henry de Bromhead, but his stamina will be stretched over this distance.
Lifetime Ambition is a consistent veteran who should again go well but it's been over two years since his last win now so let's instead side with WHAT PATH, who slipped up at Punchestown latest when staying on. That was his first run under rules in 13 months and this prolific point winner can rate higher yet on the hunter chase scene. Journey With Me has a nagging stamina doubt but still comes in as third choice.
Promising debut under rules when second beaten 1 1/4l in a bumper at Cork latest; effective 2m3f on yielding; can again go well down in trip.
Placed in a NH flat race and a point-to-point from three starts. Beaten 1 1/4l by Barnahash Prince when second of 16 at 16-1 on his latest outing in a NH flat race at Cork over 2m 3f (yielding) last month.

AIRDS MOSS cost 58,000 euros as a store and after showing promise in two point-to-points, made a very encouraging debut under rules in a 2m3f bumper at Cork. He finished clear of the third when chasing home a promising type, who went on to run respectably in a Grade 1 at Punchestown. Pack Ball, by No Risk At All out of a 1m2f winner in France, represents a yard well capable of winning bumpers first time out, while Ballyvada is a half-brother to two winners, one of which was successful in this discipline. Placed in three point-to-points, Boombox is a sister to smart jumper McLaurey and is another to consider.
AIRDS MOSS boasts the most compelling case here. Placed in points, he finished a fine second in a 2m3f bumper on debut and should have any issue with the drop in trip. Boombox is a mare with plenty going for her on this rules debut. She was consistent in points and brings potential. Lord Lackendarra is third choice coming off a pair of good runs, including over hurdles latest. He's quite capable back in a bumper.
