KARA SACRE makes a lot of sense in the opener. Paul Nolan's charge won a point-to-point impressively prior to finishing a creditable second on his hurdling bow at Naas last month and he should go very close now sporting a first-time hood. Ivybrook finished second behind Romeo Coolio here in November and is a player on that form, while Big Dee has won a bumper at this venue and now tackles hurdles for the first time.

Preference is for the top rated IVYBROOK who has shown enough, including at this venue, to suggest he can win a maiden hurdle.

COYOTE SPIRIT took a step forward on only his second start for the Gordon Elliott yard to justify favouritism in a bumper at Bellewstown last month. The seven-year-old looks to have found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles. Fairbanks was victorious in some valuable handicaps on the Flat for Andrew Balding and has to be respected on his first outing over timber for the William Durkan stable. Any market confidence behind Timeless Treaty would be interesting.

The classy Flat performer FAIRBANKS, who got to within 5l of Absurde on his last Flat start, is taken to make a winning hurdles debut
Class & Speed Card

A change of scenery worked the oracle for MALBAS at Fairyhouse last month. He finally opened his account over timber with a cosy success on his first start for Edward Buckley's yard and may well defy a 9lb rise. Tubberfinn Lady can also feature on the back of winning at Kilbeggan in fine style, while Quinn The Eskimo remains unexposed over timber and is preferred to Fort Randall of the remainder.

Fairyhouse winner Malbas has a chance up 8lb but QUINN THE ESKIMO wasn't beaten far that day so he could turn the tables.
Class & Speed Card

TIMMY TUESDAY can be excused his heavy defeat over an inadequate extended 2m3f at Punchestown six days ago and he makes grand appeal faced with a stiffer test of stamina. Gordon Elliott's charge had previously finished a cracking second at Aintree and a similar performance may suffice. Stablemate Clodders Dream has something to prove after pulling up at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago, so a bigger threat may emerge from the in-form Topgun Simmy.

Previous course winner TIMMY TUESDAY is well clear on the ratings and a repeat of his Aintree second should be enough to take this
Class & Speed Card

ENCANTO BRUNO returned from a break over C&D last month when proving no match for Pied Piper. That said, Gavin Cromwell's charge doesn't face a rival of that calibre on this occasion and is expected to come out on top. Baltic Bird ran with credit in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle and is an interesting recruit to chasing, while Big Stage is likely to be competitive dropping back in trip after finishing fifth at Navan in March.

It might pay to side with the more experienced BIG STAGE (nap) who will appreciate the drop in trip and return to a sounder surface
Class & Speed Card

A winner over C&D on her penultimate start, SEA ASTER was always going to face a stiff test in the Listed race in which she unseated at Fairyhouse last time. This is more attainable and it could be worth forgiving that mishap. Fellow track-and-trip winner Smitty Bacall is another solid contender, while Quest With Speed and Hardwired should also be competitive.

Preference is for another recent C&D winner in SEA ASTER, who was unsuited by soft ground since that win and this will suit better.
Class & Speed Card

Having recorded a hat-trick between the flags in recent months, MY LIFE BE LIKE could be one to follow on his Rules debut. The son of Getaway has made light work of his opposition and he's marginally preferred to Bold Fury. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a good second over an extended 2m3f at this course and the step up in trip is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Sampoet and Justlikejessejames complete the shortlist.

A fine runner-up over a shorter trip at this track last time, BOLD FURY can go one better as long as he settles well enough.
Class & Speed Card

TEST THE MARKET accounted for Leopard D'irlande (seventh) when showing a good amount of improvement to finish fourth at Ballinrobe last month and should have more improvement in him. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to get off the mark. Jodoro is related to three French Flat winners and it would be interesting if the market speaks in his favour on debut.

It seems safest to go with LEOPARD D'IRLANDE who did too much from the front when favourite at Ballinrobe on debut.
