It's hard to get away from SPEED FOR FUN, who would have made a winning start for the Willie Mullins yard if he hadn't fallen at the last when four lengths clear at Listowel in May. Second at Cartmel subsequently, a reproduction of that performance will make him very hard to beat. Ballybollen failed to justify favouritism when fourth on his sole bumper start at Ballinrobe, but he could prove a different proposition now sent over timber. Of the remainder, Ivatt makes the most appeal.

Annie's Angel's last two efforts in this discipline suggest that a race of this nature is within her compass and she merits respect after her latest spin on the Flat, but the vote goes to INA MINA. Terence O'Brien's mare benefited from a change of tactics when making every yard of the running to score at Cork on her return to the fray and, if in similar form, she will prove a tough nut to crack. Last year's victor Surviving Murmansk completes the shortlist.

LADY LENA wasn't able to land cramped odds when beaten a head into second in a bumper at Wexford last October, but she now makes her hurdling debut and could prove a cut above these. Goodmancon didn't convince with his jumping when third at Roscommon and will be looking for a smoother round if he wants to get into contention, while connections of L'as De Watt reach for a first-time tongue-tie in the hope of bringing out some improvement.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and this may be settled between stablemates Future Prospect, Straight Home and LA NOTE VERTE, with preference for the latter. The daughter of Australia shaped with promise on her third-placed chase bow over 2m5f at Killarney before looking to find an extended 1m7f at Wexford on the sharp side. She makes more appeal over this longer trip than Future Prospect, who is unproved beyond an extended 2m3f distance under Rules. Straight Home warrants close attention in the market on her return to action.

Having posted a good third when out of the handicap at the Galway Festival, WATCH THE WEATHER makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters. The veteran is effectively 4lb lower if taking Paddy Cody's claim into account and a sixth career victory may beckon. A Snow White Park filled the runner-up spot on two occasions before unseating at the Ballybrit venue 19 days ago and she's feared most, ahead of That's About Right.

None of these are without risk and with that in mind, PRESENTING LAD could be worth chancing. A C&D winner as a novice a couple of seasons back, the 10-year-old has dropped to a very handy mark and a revival could see him stamp his authority under top weight in a weak event. Ballinaboola Gold is still a maiden but switching to fences could be a source of improvement at this level, while similar comments apply to Bossing It, whose peak hurdles form gives him a fair chance.

VILLAGE DREAM posted a respectable effort on her debut at Killarney and the Willie Mullins-trained mare gets the vote based on her potential to improve for her high-profile yard. Myluckymaker is more experienced and is one to keep an eye on in the betting on the back of a fair second at Clonmel when last seen. She debuts for new connections here and support in the betting would be noteworthy. The Two Mary's and Bluebell Breeze complete the shortlist.
