It's difficult to look past PENNY JANE, a bumper/dual hurdles winner who has placed in each of her three starts over fences thus far. With normal luck, she should bag a much deserved victory. Balofilo finished third behind the useful Dont Kick Nor Bite on her latest start in this sphere and she could be the one to take second, while unexposed two-time point-to-point scorer Corella Creek also has place credentials.

Unlike the other quartet, LOGICAL SONG arrives in something like top form after finishing a length second in this sphere at Ballinrobe and, with the third and fifth since franking that effort, he will be well fancied to go one better. La Bella Vida at least managed to reward each-way support over hurdles at Kilbeggan and the past course winner is respected on her chasing debut, while Bendanella cannot be ruled out either.

PRESENTING MAHLER rates the one to beat for last year's winning connections. The seven-year-old won gamely on similarly testing ground at Listowel when last sighted and a 6lb rise might not be enough to anchor her if arriving in the same mood. Eight Till Late has either won or finished runner-up on his last four chase starts and should be in the mix again, while Cnoc Na Sioga, a stablemate of the selection, looks next best.

ROBIN DES MANA boasts some smart bumper/hurdles form and, entitled to improve for the switch to fences, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Coeur Joyeux was just a place behind Penny Jane when third at Kilbeggan last time so a big run from the former in the 2.15 here today will boost the chances of JP McManus' charge, while the lightly-raced Danboru might prove best of the remainder.

BILKO held solid claims when falling at the last at Listowel earlier this month and he could make amends here for Gordon Elliott. The six-year-old has been placed on three of his five starts over fences and should have learnt plenty from that outing on handicap debut. The addition of Davy Russell to the saddle is a positive move and he can account for Fenlon's Hill, who did it well at Galway nine days ago, and Some Drama, who can boast a past victory at this venue on his CV.

POORMANS HILL did it well on stable bow for Gordon Elliott at Downpatrick five days ago and a 4lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. The six-year-old looked to be well ahead of his rating that day and should have more scope for improvement than this field. Dr Moloney shaped with much more encouragement at Hexham last time after two previous falls, while Who's Cross won't mind this give in the ground and looked better here five weeks ago when last seen.

WILLOW GRANGE landed this prize last year and had a nice pipe-opener for the repeat when third at Ballinrobe six days ago. The slight increase in trip and the addition of Danny Mullins to the saddle only boosts confidence, and the nine-year-old can account for the likes of Dorkas, who also likes it around here, and Doolough Lad, who has a bit of ground to make up on the former. Gibbstown can go best of the remainder.
