HUDSON'S BAY achieved a fair level of form on the level and ran well on his hurdling debut at Gowran last month when third. The son of Teofilo is entitled to improve for the experience and looks a fairly solid option in a race where very few have any kind of claims. Macbride chased home the selection when a further seven and a half lengths behind in fourth at Gowran and should do the same again here, while Seven Nation Army has proven very frustrating to follow since his bumper days but may improve with first time cheekpieces.

TIME FOR MABEL was a good fourth behind Bamako Moriviere on his most recent effort over hurdles at Punchestown early last month and looks open to more improvement. Thinkitplanitdoit improved for a return to a sounder surface when winning a maiden hurdle at Killarney back in May and deserves respect on just his fifth start to date, while Isabella Liberty has proven consistent of late and could be thereabouts.

TOP OF THE TOWN hasn't encountered good ground since winning a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last July and Charles Byrnes' charge makes plenty of appeal to gain his first success in handicap company. Fiddlers Bow could well improve for better ground and has the assistance of Davy Russell in the saddle. El Vasco was a maiden hurdle winner last month at Gowran and he could be thereabouts, along with Fleurys Fort.

VEDETTARIAT was last seen when pulled up behind Cup Final at the Punchestown Festival over hurdles and returns to the larger obstacles here. If able to reproduce the performance from February when winning his beginners chase, the son of Lavirco could prove very difficult to beat and also has first time cheekpieces just to help him concentrate. Beau Et Sublime won at the second time of asking over fences last month at Down Royal and could well improve further for the step up in distance, while On Fiddlers Green enjoyed the more forceful tactics last time and is a threat to all.

THE PLAN MAN showed a good level of form over hurdles and ran well on chase debut when second behind Baily Cloud. The son of Jeremy arguably would have won without a final fence error and should have no issue in getting off the mark at the second attempt over the larger obstacles. Akito looks the main threat with some decent form so far over fences, while The Herds Garden looks best of the remainder.

KING LEON did well to win last time at Ballinrobe and needs to gain another success to give him a chance of scraping into the Galway Plate field for his rookie trainer Joseph O'Brien. Shesaportrait has claims on the best of her form but may be entitled to improve for the outing having not raced since the Kerry National last September where she ran with credit behind Rogue Angel. Kylecrue has been tried in better races over fences of late and has conditions to suit.

ROBYN BELLE showed a good level of form when runner-up behind Khalessi and the step up in distance will bring about further improvement on her second start under Rules. The daughter of Whitmore's Conn can see off dual runner-up Inchiquin High, who should also benefit for the extra half mile, and Cant Wait who was a fair second at Wexford last time and should be thereabouts.
