KALEOSUN is an interesting recruit for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown and may be able to make a winning start over hurdles. The No Risk At All gelding won a French bumper back in April and subsequently was bought for 215,000 euros. Hands On shaped with promise when fourth on his jumping debut at Listowel and with some natural improvement from that experience he is entitled to be a big player. Right Now was placed in a couple of Flat maidens and has a mark of 71 on the level. He is sure to be well schooled for this task and is another for the shortlist.

KALEOSUN was picked up for a hefty sum after winning a French bumper and he's fancied to make a successful start for his powerful connections at the likely expense of Hands On, who shaped encouragingly in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel 28 days ago. Right Now is another one to consider.

French import KALEOSUN cost plenty and looks a likely type. The market will be helpful regarding Hands On who ran well at Listowel

Not the strongest looking contest and if BLACK BAMBOO can perform anywhere near his mark of 121 he should be able to collect. The John Murphy-trained gelding was a bumper winner back in February 2022 and has kept decent company since going over hurdles. This is an easier task than the novice hurdle he ran in at Killarney last time. Despite finishing fifth of six then he wasn't beaten far behind Lucid Dreams. The mare Purse Price disappointed when last seen at Sligo in July but she had been consistent before that and looks a potential danger in receipt of 9lb. Our Girl Sal has been knocking on the door and could be place material.

BLACK BAMBOO ran creditably whilst suggesting his stamina was stretched tackling an extended 22f at Killarney in August and, having previously highlighted a race of this nature was within his grasp, he gets the vote to come out on top dropping back in trip. Purse Price and Our Girl Sal can emerge as the chief threats.

A gilt-edged opportunity forBLACK BAMBOO whose form is by far the strongest; Purse Price can be next best if bouncing back

The mare DESERT HEATHER has a nice weight in this with Ray Barron taking 5lb off her back and may be worth siding with on her return to action. The daughter of Cloudings stays all day and was progressive last season, ending her campaign with two wins at Kilbeggan. She is joint top-rated off a mark of 128 but when you take into account Barron's claim she will receive a stone and 4lb from Solitary Man, who has the same rating. Enda Bolger's charge was a good winner of a novice event at Killarney at the start of the month and has race fitness on his side. There may be more to come from the lightly-raced Moon D'orange who scored at Cartmel in May, and he is another that has to be considered.

DESERT HEATHER was improving at a rate of knots when last seen, doubling her tally in good style at Kilbeggan in May, and she's fancied to continue the good work back from 5 months off in receipt of weight all round. Solitary Man and Sea Music are just a couple of others to consider in a race which should throw up winners.

A good little contest. SEA MOON wasn't seen to best effect last time and will be hard to beat over 3m with more positive tactics

GETABELLE ran well on her last visit here and may be able to go one better now. The Getaway mare lost out by half a length to Blenheim Belle back in August and stuck on all the way to the line after being headed on the run-in. She only went up 2lb for that effort and looks capable of winning a race of this standard. Toor Moon has been placed on his last couple of outings and looks an obvious danger. He ran well last time when chasing home Londonofficecallin in Killarney. Mikita was beaten a long way when third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on her last start but could get closer trying handicap company for the first time now.

ONEFORTHEDITCH very much caught the eye on her handicap bow at Galway so could be worth chancing at the main expense of Toor Moon and Getabelle.

There could easily be one or two well-treated types amongst the handicap first-timers but Killarney second TOOR MOON is the solid option

BALLYDANGAN posted an improved effort when chasing home Mick Charlie at Fairyhouse last time and may be capable of going a place better now. The first three pulled nicely clear that day and the form was given a boost with the third horse, Croi Corcra, running out a cosy winner over fences at Tramore the other day. Run Like Fada comes here off the back of a couple of decent runs and could be a danger. The Court Cave gelding was a solid third at Listowel last time and remains on the same mark, giving him another shot at this grade. Herculaneum, a winner on the Flat during the summer, looks on a nice mark over timber and is another for the shortlist.

If BALLYDANGAN is in the same form as when an improved second at Fairyhouse recently he might be able to go one better now. The return to a slightly longer trip could suit Glencourt Valley and he's second choice ahead of Run Like Fada and John McConnell's Noble Crusade.

If building upon his decent Navan effort last time, GLENCOURT VALLEY could be able to get off the mark in this lower grade

CLEVER CURRENCY comes here in winning form and it looks like a nice bit of placing with a horse that has plenty of experience over fences. He scored in good style at Sligo late last month and went up 7lb for that, leaving him just a pound shy of the top mark for qualification in this race. Simon Cavanagh's 7lb claim is a help. Butterflyvespiere has a mark of 109 so just scrapes into this. She was last seen chasing home a smart sort in Heia in a Tramore beginners chase in June and has to be respected on her return. Potters Party was a faller on his chase debut at Sligo but if that hasn't left a mark he could be a big player in this company.

DUNDANIEL won nicely on his hunter debut in the spring and might be up to following up on his return. Butterflyvespiere will be a threat if reproducing the level of her Tramore second at the start of the summer, while Potters Party fell around halfway on his chase debut but his strength in the betting on that occasions suggests his leading yard thinks he can on to better things over fences.

It looks significant that POTTERS PARTY is turned out quickly after falling when favourite in a Sligo novice chase

FIGHTING FIT is indeed that and his race fitness could prove the difference here. The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding confirmed Galway form over Barnacullia with a convincing success at Listowel last month and the eight-year-old has returned in great heart after his form tailed off a bit last season. He went up 10lb for his latest win but may be able to complete the hat-trick. Indiana Jones is a classy performer on his day and the top-weight could be the danger on his return. He was last seen finishing third in top level company at Punchestown and was also a Grade 3 winner last season. Mark Walsh takes the ride on Cayd Boy, owned like the selection by JP McManus. He is a smart performer on his day and also has to be considered in this.

FIGHTING FIT looks the obvious one on the back of a career best, and is preferred to Indiana Jones and Cayd Boy.

It could be worth taking a chance on CAYD BOY upsetting the more fancied, in-form Fighting Fit in the same ownership.

It's hard to oppose Willie Mullins in bumpers at the moment, with 35 already in the bag this season, and GLOWING ACCOUNT can follow up here after an impressive debut at Listowel. The Le Havre gelding barely had to come off the bridle to score by five lengths last month and is a nice prospect. Icare D'aubrelle was also very impressive when winning his bumper but that came back in February 2022 and a long absence would be a concern. Described as 'special' by trainer Tom Cooper then it will be interesting to see how he fares on his return. Cap Bernat is also considered after a couple of decent efforts in defeat at Downpatrick.

GLOWING ACCOUNT made a winning start with loads to spare at Listowel 28 days ago and, with the scope for better, he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record. Icare D'Aubrelle and Cap Bernat are the most appealing of the others.

It is difficult to oppose GLOWING ACCOUNT, who impressed with the manner of his debut win at Listowel and can improve from that too.
