MYSTICAL GODDESS may be able to make a winning start on the track for Henry de Bromhead. The Walk In The Park mare was carried out on her point-to-point debut before justifying a short price next time in Ballyvodock. The runner-up that day, Handfulofpromises, was subsequently runner-up in a bumper in England. Spick And Span ran well when third at Ballinrobe last time and that form got a boost the other day in Roscommon with the runner Mexican Moonshine winning. Marcus Furius was second on his track debut in a Kilbeggan bumper and the point-to-point winner is another to consider on his hurdling debut.

Having win a point last year, MARCUS FURIUS made a promising start to his Rules career when second in a bumper at Kilbeggan so he could be the answer now hurdling. Mystical Goddess is another winner between the flags so she must command respect, along with debutante Westinjet.

Giovinco's sister MYSTICAL GODDESS will want further in time but the winning pointer can score for Henry de Bromhead on rules debut

WORKINONADREAM may be able to gain a deserved success, getting a few pounds from the boys. The Mount Nelson mare bumped into a smart one at Wexford in late August when chasing home World Of Fortunes. That rival has followed up in good style at Listowel since. He's Ultimate looks like an obvious danger after a solid run to chase home Dee's Getaway on his return to action at Tramore 15 days ago. Ol Man Dingle ran a big race when third at Bellewstown last time and is another that has to come into calculations.

OL MAN DINGLE took his form to a new level when third at Bellewstown a month ago and a repeat of that performance will ensure he's bang there again. He's Ultimate got back on track at Tramore and there's a chance he'll kick on from that, with Workinonadream also considered.

The step up in trip may bring some improvement from LEAVE IN SECRET who's been pretty consistent on good ground this summer

WILD SHOT has been put in here off a nice weight. The John McConnell-trained gelding hasn't run too badly in recent handicap hurdle outings, and was a fine third at Bellewstown in late August. Off his mark of 110 he would appear the best treated. The consistent Bythesametoken is rated a couple of pounds superior but has a stiff enough task under top-weight. Summer Tide is another who could be nicely treated if he puts his best foot forward. He was well beaten in handicap company at Killarney last time but should be capable of getting closer in this.

It could be worth chancing veteran WILD SHOT, who ran well when sixth in a Ballinrobe handicap 3 weeks ago and the drop back in trip won't inconvenience him back down in grade. Gino Drummer Boy and Bythesametoken are a couple of others to consider.

The vote goes to COZONE who was an easy winner over 2m4f at last year's Listowel festival and hinted at a revival back there last time

SLIP JIG could be nicely treated on her handicap debut off a mark of 102. The Flemensfirth mare won a maiden hurdle at Tipperary when last seen in May and the form of that race has worked out well enough. She improved a nice bit from her hurdling debut to win that day and there looks scope for further improvement on just her fifth career outing. Stormalong has been running very consistently and just lost out in a tight three-way finish at Listowel last week. She went up 3lb for that effort but should be a big player again. Lucky Viv gained a deserved win at Ballinrobe last time and is another for the shortlist.

A lot with chances but LA HACIENDA rates just the pick of the weights so is fancied to regain winning ways at the chief expense of the progressive Stormalong. Cash The Cheque and Lucky Viv also need factoring into this very open handicap.

Runner-up in this race last year on testing ground, STORMALONG is better suited to a sound surface and can go one better

OSKAR HIGH bounced back to form with success at Galway last month and may be able to follow up in a weak enough looking contest. The 12-year-old is only 5lb higher having made all around Ballybrit last time and a similar effort would see him go close again. Sydney Cruiser was a solid enough fourth behind the selection last time. She is entitled to get a bit closer at the revised weights and could prove the danger. The four-year-old Wing Back didn't run to badly when mid-division in a maiden hurdle at Naas back in April and could be one to watch in the market on his handicap debut.

SYDNEY CRUISER has yet to win a race, but she's been shaping up nicely and with this intermediate trip perhaps her optimum, she can reverse Galway form with Oskar High. Of the rest, Pettigo is likely to give it another good shot, while Ganderstown needs a close check in the betting given his connections.

Not many make much appeal. SYDNEY CRUISER has been consistent in defeat lately over various trips and could get her day in the sun.

BEGGARS ROCK may be able to gain some compensation here having been runner-up when well backed at Down Royal last time. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was denied a clear run coming to the second last then before finishing half a length behind Dinoland. That form looks solid with the winner finished runner-up since. Crossing The Bar drops into this grade on his first start for Cian Collins and could be a big player having been a consistent sort in Britain. Craic Eile has been placed on his last couple of outings and could claim some prize-money again.

BEGGARS ROCK was much improved when well backed and second at Down Royal upped to this trip last time and has a good chance with a repeat up 5 lb. Crossing The Bar is interesting for a new yard, with Craic Eile another to consider.

Having left his previous form behind when a well-fancied runner-up at Down Royal last time, BEGGARS ROCK could make amends today

A couple turn out again here having been runner-up at Listowel last week and the vote goes to ARTIC LANE. The Declan Queally-trained gelding was slightly disappointing on his return at Kilbeggan having run a big race in a Leopardstown bumper last Christmas. It was a better effort to chase home Champagne Kid eight days ago and he can get his head in front now. Prove Yourself was beaten by the experienced Cappucino at the Kerry venue 11 days ago on his return to action. He's entitled to be a big player now with that run under his belt. Bayrann was a couple of places behind Prove Yourself last time and looks place material.

ARTIC LANE was again beaten at short odds at Listowel 8 days ago, yet there was some mitigation given where he raced on that occasion, so he's afforded another chance back down in trip. Prove Yourself and Quint Major can provide the chief threats.

Over this trip, PROVE YOURSELF (nap) is preferred to Artic Lane in the clash of the recent Listowel runners-up
