GIANT HAYSTACKS has strong claims. Beaten 26 lengths in a Grade 3 contest on career debut last December, he has shown nice ability in recent months and having run well in a good point-to-point in October, finished nicely in a big-field handicap at Navan last month and a reproduction would give him every chance. Polly Poppins was leading but being challenged when falling at Tramore in October but has place claims while Mellem was well beaten in recent maidens hurdles but ran well in a bumper last September.

This is a good opportunity for GIANT HAYSTACKS to get off the mark. Indeed, he shaped well starting out for this yard in a big-field Navan handicap 16 days ago and a reproduction of that would make him hard to beat. Polly Poppins was in the process of running a big race when exiting at the second-last in a Tramore maiden last time and she will likely emerge as the main danger granted a clear round this time. Glenmalure Flyer is best of the rest.

This is a good opportunity for GIANT HAYSTACKS who coped well in handicap company when fourth in a 23-runner contest at Navan

MAYOS VENDANGEUR is progressive and ran well in a better handicap last month. Her initial form was ordinary but has shown consistent ability in recent months with the form of her recent Limerick run being nicely boosted by the fifth-placed horse winning subsequently. Four-time Flat winner San Aer has frustrated in his hurdling career todate, with National Hunt distances possibly stretching him, but ran well in a similar race last month. Rated 86 when finishing sixth in the Lincoln in March, he likes testing ground so should be better suited by today's ground than at Thurles. Aboy Joey has shown nice ability in similar handicaps and has place claims.

This looks wide open and a chance is taken on ABOY JOEY, who stepped up on his reappearance effort when fourth of 11 at Wexford and he is appealing off the same mark here. C&D winner Marlpark will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward, while Job Well Done is one to note in the betting on her handicap debut and Mayos Vendangeur is an each-way player.

Coming back to 2m might see ON YOUR WAY in a better light, having been well below his best maiden form over 2m4f last time

SANDOR CLEGANE is closely matched with Three Card Brag on their previous meetings but is slightly less reliant on testing ground conditions than that rival. The selection finished third, and ahead of Three Card Brag, in Cheltenham's 2023 Albert Bartlett and while the score between the pair is 2-2 following four prior meetings, Sandor Clegane might hold a small edge, with each horse reverting from fences on season reappearance. Recent course-and-distance winner Plains Indian faces a tougher task today and would prefer good ground while Franciscan Rock won a recent Punchestown handicap but also steps up in grade. Recent chase winner Drumgill concedes plenty weight.

THREE CARD BRAG is capable fresh and gets the nod to make a successful return back over hurdles. Sandor Clegane is an obvious threat having done well as a novice hurdler in 2022/23, with recent Punchestown scorer Franciscan Rock also feared.

The 2023 Albert Bartlett third SANDOR CLEGANE is slightly preferred to Three Card Brag, old rivals at this stage.

C'EST TA CHANCE showed smart ability in his bumper debut last January and has winning point-to-point experience. Narrowly defeated by a subsequently Grade 1-placed winner in that Naas race, he was subsequently well held in the Cheltenham Bumper and disappointed at Ayr in April but contests a winnable maiden today, stepping up in distance. Stablemate Jump Allen defeated a subsequent dual hurdle winner when scoring on debut at Killarney but should struggle to concede 8lb to the selection. Harry's Dream ran well at Gowran while point-to-point winner Onlymammycanloveme wears a tongue-tie on reappearance. Recent withdrawal Whatsanotheryear has been waiting such a long time for suitable ground, which until now wasn't available.

Willie Mullins holds the aces here but separating JUMP ALLEN and C'est Ta Chance isn't easy. The latter achieved slightly more in bumpers but the former had just the one run and was pretty impressive when winning at Killarney, so he shades the vote. Of the rest, point-winner Onlymammycanloveme is of some interest.

It looks significant that Patrick Mullins rides C'EST TA CHANCE in preference to his penalised stablemate Jump Allen.

KARAFON looks the pick of the Willie Mullins runners on jockey bookings and was the subject of a favourable report from the trainer in a stable tour. The fact that this French import started his Irish career off with a fifth place in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown last Christmas shows the regard he is held in. Lady Rose Hackett is going the right way in three runs for Henry de Bromhead and a first-time hood is tried on her. Karamoja is another Mullins representative and this Masked Marvel filly ought to make an impact, while Sheer Raz is well worth a market check on track debut for Gavin Cromwell. Mullins' Funiculi Funicula lurks among the reserves and would be a contender if getting a run.

KARAFON was an excellent fifth starting out for this yard when stepped up to Grade 2 level at Leopardstown when last seen on Boxing Day and shades the vote over his new stablemate Karamoja, who showed plenty of ability in France. Lady Rose Hackett should be in the mix again.

KARAFON(nap) can take this if repeating the form of his Leopardstown Grade 2 fifth place when last seen.

There was a lot to like about ARDFERT MARY's runner-up spot over a similar trip in Gowran Park last month. John Ryan's mare came home well after the third-last hurdle and was clear of the remainder. Philip Rothwell and Tiernan Power Roche have been plundering plenty of winners and Duffys Hodey is another leading contender. This seven-year-old gelding ran his best race to date when getting up for second over a shorter trip in Tipperary. Ryan also has Love Like This who posted a runner-up berth in a higher grade at Thurles which reads well in the context of this race. This trip shouldn't inconvenience her.

RESTLESS SON shaped well on his recent Limerick reappearance and is given a chance to build on that promise with this longer trip likely to suit. Ardfert Mary, Duffys Hodey and Love Like all arrive on the back of good runner-up efforts and head the dangers.

Philip Rothwell's run of form may continue courtesy of DUFFYS HODEY who made a fine start to the season when second at Tipperary.

CHEERFUL CHAP has been off since May, but has gone well fresh before. He was in good form in the first half of the year as he clocked up victories over flights at Naas and Ballinrobe. He was also placed in Cork, and when last seen over fences at Tramore. One Last Tango was decent over hurdles and has been learning his trade in a couple of beginners chases at Galway and in a rated novice chase in Naas. Similar sentiments apply to Lazer Wolf, who won over flights at Limerick in March, as he is very much unexposed over fences. Stablemates Mighty Oak Lad and Danny The Fence will have their backers in addition to Ishan.

LAZER WOLF looks ready to take a step forward now he goes into handicaps so gets the vote in this very open event. Kilashee wasn't seen to best effect when last at Fairyhouse only two days ago and appeals as the sort to bounce back. Both Ishan and Mighty Oak Lad return from absences but have more to offer and warrant plenty of respect.

ONE LAST TANGO and Lazer Wolf are of interest after showing glimpses in beginners' chases, with preference for the former.

BLEU D'ENFER is entitled to come on from his fourth place over a staying trip at Down Royal last month. That was his first outing for more than six months and the form received a hefty boost when the winner followed up in the Porterstown at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Champagne Mahler would welcome plenty of rain, but he does have a notable third in a beginners' chase at Tipperary in the book behind a horse (Pinkerton) that went on to win the Galway Plate. Undeniable Alibi is likely to progress from an opening fourth over fences at Punchestown in November, while Kiltealy Park won twice over the smaller obstacles and has her first crack at racecourse fences.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and UNDENIABLE ALIBI is fancied to build on his promising chasing debut fourth at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. Bleu d'Enfer also has the form to play a part, while Starman and Champagne Mahler also enter calculations.

Course maiden hurdle winner UNDENIABLE ALIBI just makes the cut on the stipulated 116 hurdle-rating maximum and can take advantage
