COURT LEXI made a pleasing hurdles debut at Sligo earlier this month and she might not have to step up too much on that effort to land this contest. Ms Bliss has shown ability in bumpers and she is an interesting contender on her hurdles bow. Knock Na Shee showed promise on her only bumper run last year and it would not be a surprise to see her give a good account on her debut over timber.

I NEVER KNEW THAT comes into this in good heart and there could still be a little improvement to come from her so she is fancied to play a leading role once more. Gentle Cloud ran well on his handicap debut over 3m here earlier this month and he can go well once more providing the drop in trip does not catch him out. Roving Lad is interesting on his first foray into handicap company.

DUNROE BOY has been raised 11lb for his 3m Punchestown success earlier this month but he did win with plenty in hand and he could take plenty of beating again here. Our Girl Lucy ran well at Ballinrobe last time and a reproduction of that effort would give her solid each-way prospects today. Courtncatcher is an interesting contender on his handicap debut and he makes the shortlist along with Garryglass.

TOUGH TALKIN MAN showed a good attitude to repel all challengers when making all to score over this C&D earlier this month and a 4lb rise might not prevent another big run from him. Raggletagglegypsy is fit from the Flat and he has claims here on his best hurdles form. Banna Man could feature if at the top of his game after a break and Apache Drums should not be overlooked.

Big Game Hunter has had plenty of chances and is opposed with ANSHAN DREAMS in this beginners' chase. The booking of Barry Geraghty suggests there could be a big run up the sleeve of Adrian Maguire's dual hurdles scorer on his chasing debut and, following a pleasing reappearance at Cork over timber last month, he is worth taking a chance on. Elsewhere in the field, Cadspeed and Der Spieler are expected to go close if running up to their respective ratings.

Definite Class landed a beginners' event at Kilbeggan with some ease earlier this month but is expected to find SHOP DJ too good here. Peter Fahey's consistent seven-year-old sets the standard with a mark of 132 and, having run well enough behind Sir Des Champs in a Punchestown Grade 1 latest, she should prove tough to pass now eased in grade. Our Victoria and Royal Choice are others to note.

RESOLUTE BAY looks to be getting the hang of things over fences and the distance winner is potentially well handicapped over fences if his form over timber can be reproduced. Spot The Boos shaped with promise at Kilbeggan last week when benefitting from a drop in class, so the the son of Presenting is shortlisted along with Close Review, who gets in under a low weight and should be thereabouts when push comes to shove.

ZUZKA landed a Kilbeggan bumper over this trip in style at the beginning of the month and should be up to this with improvement forthcoming. She travelled like a horse with plenty of class and, having appreciated good ground on that occasion, she is very tough to oppose. Kilbarry Beauty is feared most on the back of a much improved performance at Cork last month, while Young Palm can also make the frame.
