GOLDEN TEMPLE was reasonably capable on the flat and has hurdling experience. His flat form is at middle-distances and while well held on jumps debut here last month, the runner-up won subsequently and this looks winnable. Expelliarmus has caught the eye on the flat and while unexposed and likely to prove best of these in time, might benefit from today's jumps debut. An Breadan Feasa's dam is a half-sister to high-class hurdler Kalashnikov and is capable of improving from an encouraging Navan flat debut. Giselles Defence has middle-distance form but needs to improve with and softening ground not being ideal. Pigeon House has jumped left on occasions in two hurdles todate and needs to improve on his Killarney run.

EXPELLIARMUS failed to meet expectations on her most recent Flat outing, but there's every chance she'll take to this discipline being closely related to useful 2m hurdle winner Common Practice, so she earns the vote. Golden Temple sets the standard on his run here last month, albeit not a high one, while An Bradan Feasa needs considering, too.

The refitting of blinkers on GOLDEN TEMPLE is significant and he's entitled to improve from his creditable hurdling debut at this track

DAME RAPIDE is rated 97 on the flat and ran well in a recent Down Royal maiden hurdle. Her flat rating improved from 45 to 97 in recent times and while her best form is on a sound surface, which is a concern with rain forecast, wasn't beaten too far in a Listed hurdle on easy ground last April and today rider claims 5lb. Letters To Juliet caught the eye at Sligo and while her two runs have been on good ground, has a national hunt pedigree so should handle easy ground. She should progress but the selection is more experienced. Zoomtime showed improvement when finishing second on good ground at Cork and also being national hunt-bred, should cope with easier ground. Nurse Garvey ran ok in an unplaced horses' maiden on her last run while C'est Rien ran well at Tipperary last October but has poor form since. Castle Ruby runs in a first-time cheekpieces.

DAME RAPIDE sets a clear standard, so this looks a good opportunity for her to open her account as a hurdler. Zoomtime and Castle Ruby can battle it out for minor honours.

DAME RAPIDE put up her best hurdles run when second at Down Royal last time. This is a weaker contest and she should score.

PENNY JAR was well held on the flat at Galway but is better in this sphere. He completed a hat-trick last year and while beaten on his last two handicap hurdles, nonetheless ran well in both, is ground-versatile and suited by this distance, with today's rider claiming 7lb. Rain is forecast so Whatsyourstatus' plans could be well scuppered again. He is well handicapped over hurdles but needs a sound surface. Ounce of Gold ran well on handicap debut last-time but is 4lb higher while Positive Thinker disappointed at Tipperary on his last run and returns from a mini-break. Tomas O Maille is 1lb ahead of the handicapper followed a recent runner-up effort at Galway but his quick reappearance isn't ideal. Dorans River has been in excellent form but is nonetheless an ageing 13 year old. Conna Cottage was claimed at Sligo last month and debuts for his new owner/rider.

OUNCE OF GOLD ran well considering he was left with plenty to do on his Punchestown handicap debut back in June and there are certainly races to be won with him on that evidence. Whatsyourstatus and Penny Jar head the opposition.

Consistent in defeat over hurdles and on the Flat since rattling up a hurdling three-timer last year, PENNY JAR can score again.

SOMETHING ABOUTHER looked like a mare who would go on to better things when readily beating Ginnets Girl over a similar trip at Punchestown in June. She ran well on handicap debut in a very competitive contest at the Galway festival and can defy a 2lb higher mark. Emily In Paris gets nearly a stone from the selection and Michael O'Sullivan has struck up a good partnership with her. She's on a hat-trick and will appreciate stepping back up in trip after winning at Sligo. Ballybawn Belter has won two valuable handicaps this year including a 2m4f contest at Punchestown in April. Two miles was too short for her last time and she'll be more of a force over this distance.

SOMETHING ABOUTHER wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in a big field at Galway on her handicap debut and can show she's on a good mark now. Handicap newcomers Ginnets Girl, one of 2 for the Gordon Elliott yard, and Deons Diamond arrive on the back of maiden wins and may give the selection most to think about.

A Punchestown maiden hurdle winner over this trip, SOMETHING ABOUTHER ran a fine race at Galway since and can take this.

HAZELHATCH LADY goes over racecourse fences for the first time after winning her last two hurdle starts at Roscommon and Sligo. Second on her only start in point-to-points, she was taken out at Galway on Monday due to soft ground but did win a bumper on 'summer soft' at Wexford last year. Presenting Doyen is also a dual winner over hurdles and chased home the selection at Sligo. A 9lb pull in the weights brings her very much into the reckoning and she also has point-to-point experience. Sarah Beara landed a gamble over hurdles at Wexford before finding one too good under a penalty here three days later. Another with useful form between the flags, she looks progressive and can contend along with Mousey Brown who ran creditably on chase debut at Kilbeggan in July.

While PRESENTING DOYEN needs to bounce back following a poor effort at Killarney 3 weeks ago, she will have every chance of delivering on this chase debut if able to do so.The 5-y-o chased home Hazelhatch Lady in a Sligo novice on her penultimate start and meets that rival on more favourable terms here. Hazelhatch Lady is nevertheless respected given her progressive profile and Paidi's Passion, a winner over timber at Downpatrick recently, also enters the reckoning.

Though HAZELHATCH LADY has 4lb to find with Presenting Doyen on hurdles ratings, she is in the form of her career at the moment.

COURTING VICKIE won over 2m4f on winter ground at Clonmel last November and comes into this in good shape after two recent placed efforts. The pick of those was last month's third behind a subsequent winner at Roscommon and she won't mind any further easing of the ground. Confirmed front-runner Rudy Catrail had been in fine form this summer until jumping poorly and weakening tamely at Wexford last time. A winner over further at Roscommon in August, he could easily bounce back and could be hard to catch if stealing a march on his rivals. My Friend The Wind returned from five months off to win over hurdles here at the last meeting and is now rated 6lb higher in that sphere. He went close over fences at Galway last October but has been rather error-prone so far over the larger obstacles.

It might be worth chancing that MY FRIEND THE WIND can keep the mistakes to a minimum as his recent course hurdle success shows he's returned in good form and his near miss in a handicap chase at Galway last autumn shows he is capable over fences. Second choice is Rudy Catrail who had an excuse last time and had been in good form prior to that. Glenmalure Lodge has been knocking on the door over hurdles in recent months and also makes the shortlist.

THE EYE OF TULLA has placed form over much longer trips including around here but his sole win came over an extended 2m1f at Limerick in May. He won readily on that occasion and meets the runner-up Berliet Express on only 2lb worse terms so can confirm the placings. Berliet Express is a strong traveller but finds little off the bridle and a first win over fences has continued to elude him despite a string of creditable efforts this year. He was caught up the hill at Downpatrick last month and the easier finish at this venue will suit although connections will be hoping the ground doesn't deteriorate too much. Early Arrival won over hurdles in the spring and wasn't beaten far when sixth in a 2m4f handicap chase at Wexford a fortnight ago. This trip looks on the sharp side but he should be thereabouts in this company.

BERLIET EXPRESS isn't one maximum faith but he has a more solid recent record than most of these and perhaps this can finally be his day over fences. Early Arrival continues to look well treated on hurdle form and is second choice ahead of Itsalonglongroad.

SWITCH FROM DIESEL was well fancied on debut and emerged with plenty of credit when chasing home a Wille Mullins hotpot in a bumper here last month. She only went down by a length and can confirm form with the locally-trained River Robe who was two lengths further back in third. The booking of the very accomplished John Gleeson bolsters her claims. Sharp Object joined John McConnell after finishing second in a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm in April for Pat Turley. The latter is a good operator and a fine source of winners and the daughter of Diamond Boy merits considerable respect on her Rules debut. Gordon Elliott's Day's A Dawning and Prove Yourself, a half-brother to five Flat winners, are newcomers to note.

DAY'S A DAWNING is from a good family and represents top connections, so she's likely to make a winning start for all that point recruit Sharp Object also looks a big player. Switch From Diesel is the best of those with experience in this sphere, so she can't be ruled out.
