HYPOTENUS ran a notable race in a Grade 3 on his jumping debut in February and is forgiven his Triumph Hurdle disappointment as he reverts to a right-handed track, which should suit. Well-related and a three-time Flat winner, he chased home a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse and while pulled up when a difficult ride at Cheltenham, jumped markedly right then and it shouldn't be an issue reverting right-handed today. Dual Flat winner Como Park is capable and ran well on jumps debut at Navan. He should improve jumping-wise from that experience, although being a staying-type on the level, might lack a gear against the selection. Mercury Mission finished behind Como Park in a Flat maiden in May 2022 but has a race-fitness edge (beating Mr Globalist at Roscommon), although needs to improve. Ex-Aga Khan-owned Sidiriya was a 42,000-euro purchase last February, having shown useful soft-ground Flat form.

A serious case of quantity over quality here, HYPOTENUS strongly fancied to build on the promise of his hurdling debut at the second attempt. The hood is left off and John McConnell's charge can get the better of Como Park, who shaped encouragingly sent hurdling on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead back in March and should have more to offer in this sphere. Mercury Mission and Yorkshire Escape are another couple to consider.

A cracking maiden, with \Hypotenus\p placed at Grade Two level, Sidiriya quite a classy recruit and COMO PARK (nap) reappearing

SHERODAN returned from a 647-day layoff when running well at Ballinrobe. A debut bumper winner, he conceded 8lb to the race-fit winner and with progression likely, should take the beating. The Mediator also won a bumper on debut and while disappointing at Punchestown in May, was reported lame post-race. He previously contested some useful maidens but might struggle to beat the selection. Moon Rise Beauty, another bumper winner, has been in-and-out in three hurdles runs and while not herself at Thurles in December, she nonetheless faces a tough task on reappearance. Stablemate Chrisco, thrice a beaten odds-on favourite, was beaten 26 lengths in a first-time hood at Wexford recently. Great Bear ran well when last seen at the 2022 Punchestown Festival but returns from a long absence.

SHERODAN showed fairly useful form in a couple of bumpers back in 2021/22 (winner on debut) and ran to a similar level sent hurdling after 22 months off when second at Ballinrobe 6 weeks ago. He's entitled to build on that and gets the vote ahead of Great Bear and The Mediator.

Neither easy to solve nor price. SHERODAN is a tentative choice after a pleasing return at Ballinrobe

NEEV'S DREAM is a hopeful pick in a weak big-field handicap. Out of a winning half-sister to Ascot Stakes winner Lagostovegas, her form is just ordinary but she finished ahead of plenty at Naas in December and ran well on handicap debut at Wexford in March. She makes her reappearance now, but remains unexposed and should progress. Future Proof ran well at Sligo recently but while a three-time career winner, he has won just once from 31 hurdle starts. Stablemate Globetrottersivola ran his best race to date at Downpatrick last month but needs to take another step forward, while 16-race maiden Diamond Union showed form last year but has been well held in recent outings. The 12-year-old Glenabo Bridge ran well on his most recent start in January but would prefer much further.

Veteran GLENABO BRIDGE is taken to put his younger rivals to the sword in a handicap bigger on quantity than quality. He was a solid second at Punchestown when last seen in January and a reproduction of that would give him every chance here, provided that he responds well to the new headgear. Future Proof enters calculations on the back of his latest effort at Sligo, while handicap debutant Toor Moon and Mr Macphisto are others to consider. Atlantic Wonder will also be a threat if getting a run.

Eoin Griffin's form suggests MR MACPHISTO might show her form in which case she'd possibly win. Neev's Dream has some upside

THEONEWEDREAMOF is a progressive four-year-old who steps up to this trip for the first time. She won a handicap hurdle over two miles last January but being a stayer on the Flat, should be suited by today's extra distance, is in good form and open to further progression. Bynx won on her 13th hurdles attempt at Tramore last month and is interesting reverting to handicaps having finished second in a similar race at Gowran last February, with today's rider now claiming 5lb. Rathnaleen Kal, Betty Dutton and Will You Win have been running consistently well, while the in-form Emily In Paris drops in distance. Course winner Buttons And Bows is in good form, while No Fussing won an ordinary Thurles maiden in March and debuts in handicaps. All Class debuts for a new yard and hasn't run for almost a year, while Jane Wilde has hinted at ability.

THEONEWEDREAMOF receives the vote in a competitive handicap. She shaped well from a poor position when runner-up at Downpatrick on her most recent outing in May and could easily raise her game further now stepping up to a trip that promises to suit. Rathnaleen Kal has a progressive profile and looks sure to run well again, with Buttons And Bows completing the shortlist having found only an unexposed one too good at Wexford last month.

The progressive 4yo THEONEWEDREAMOF returns from a break with further improvement on the cards now upped in trip

GETAWAY CHARLIE is a proven stayer with recent form. Runner-up in two bumpers, including notably to Corbetts Cross here last October, he was well beaten by a wide-margin winner at Punchestown last month but the runner-up (who received 14lb from the selection) won at Hexham subsequently. Bob The Builder showed big improvement when finishing third in May and has returned to trainer Sean Doyle. He ran in first-time cheekpieces at Wexford and while that form is nothing special, is fit and well. Alvarez Eclipse and The Kids Choice both won ordinary May point-to-points, although each didn't get very far over hurdles in June, with the latter unseating at the start at Downpatrick, while The Kids Choice was withdrawn from Punchestown. Fantasio D'alene was smart in 2019/20 but has burst blood vessels on three of his last four runs and was beaten 99 lengths last time. Meyo is well bred but debuts at an extreme staying distance.

GETAWAY CHARLIE left previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a novice at Punchestown a month ago and, in a weaker race, he might be able to open his account if he can build on that. Bob The Builder looks the danger based on form in this sphere but point winner The Kids Choice also warrants a mention.

A weak maiden hurdle. Fanatasio D'Alene has too many question marks so recent Punchestown third GETAWAY CHARLIE gets the vote

JEFF KIDDER hasn't won since his 2021 Punchestown Grade 1 success but tries this distance for the first time. Absent for 420 days prior to his December return, he offered some encouragement at Tipperary, is suited by good ground and receives weight, under his 5lb claimer. Winter Fog, under a 7lb claimer, is trip-versatile and likes good ground. Fourth in Cheltenham's 2022 Pertemps Final, he ran well on his most recent hurdles outing at Punchestown in April but his jumping was hesitant on two recent, underwhelming chase outings. The Bosses Oscar, runner-up in the 2021 Pertemps, disappointed at Aintree and while suited by conditions, concedes weight. Peregrine Run is a 20-time winner but pulled up recently, while Fully Charged returns following a layoff and may have a Galway target. Gallant John Joe is without a win since March 2019 and was pulled up recently, while Ambitious Fellow's rating has fallen.

WINTER FOG is the best hurdler in this field and, after a couple of underwhelming runs over fences, he's fancied to make the most of what looks a fairly straightforward task on form. Jeff Kidder appeals as the main danger and The Bosses Oscar should feature if back on his game.

Having not really taken to chasing WINTER FOG looks to have found a good opportunity back over hurdles here

BEAUFORTS STORM arguably exceeded pre-race expectations when second in a decent Curragh winners' bumper on her racecourse debut. While one or two of the previous winners may have underperformed on the night, the daughter of Gale Force Ten looked a useful prospect. With the benefit of that experience to call upon, the Tim Doyle-trained filly should be hard to beat in this weaker contest. Faux Fur made a promising debut at Ballinrobe in May before suffering an odds-on reversal at Perth the following month. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old should remain competitive. Shoot Champagne, from a family which has produced plenty of winners, has to be considered on debut.

This looks between BEAUFORTS STORM and Faux Fur. The latter is well worth another chance, despite being turned over when odds on at Perth last month. However, preference is for Beauforts Storm, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when second to an experienced Joseph O'Brien-trained rival on debut at the Curragh. She is entitled to come on for that run. Dream Shaper is the pick of the others.

Following a promising debut second at the Curragh last month BEAUFORTS STORM can go one better here in an ordinary bumper
