Good ground m'den hurdle winner was 21l behind on stable debut; drying ground will help.

DAIRY FORCE may have gotten bogged down in very testing conditions on his first outing for Gordon Elliott and is worth another shot. He was well backed at Fairyhouse but flattened out going to the second last, where a mistake didn't help. His sole win came on good ground and while there is going to be a cut in it now it's not going to be as deep as last time. Coolboy Christy ran a solid race when fourth at Leopardstown earlier in the month and looks like a leading contender, despite a 3lb rise for that effort. Top-weight Splashing Out has disappointed over fences recently and a switch of tack here might see him play more of a role down in grade.

A switch to handicaps last time at Leopardstown saw COOLBOY CHRISTY put in the best run of his career and he's a big player

LOUGH NIGARA has progressed really well recently and might defy top weight. Although he can often give trouble at the start, the selection is ideally suited by testing ground and staying distances. Despite racing from a career-high mark, the nine-year-old holds John Storey, Bergamasquo and Take Stock on encounters this season. Kanog Bay had been progressive prior to pulling up at Thurles last month, where he showed signs of delayed recovery post race, and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie. Themanintheboots was well held in a recent claimer but had scored at Navan last November.

Often reluctant to race, LOUGH NIGARA is a quirky sort but is in wonderful form. He may be capable of defying a career high mark

UNCLE PAT hasn't won since landing his maiden hurdle in September 2024 but ran well in the valuable Grand National Trial last month. A ground-versatile stayer, the selection was raised 2lb following his Punchestown run but a reproduction would see him involved at the business end. Jack Kennedy rides St Denis's Well, who bumped into a well-in rival over hurdles at Navan last month and stays well, while Slanagaibhgoleir tries this staying distance for the first time over fences and ran well last time.

A maiden over fences, UNCLE PAT has good prospects of making the breakthrough after finishing second in the Grand National Trial

DEE'S LADY debuts over fences but scored over hurdles last time and is helped by receiving a 7lb mares' allowance in this restricted contest. From a fine French family and out of a half-sister to high-class Madison Du Berlais, the selection was a 150,000-euro purchase as a three-year-old and, having generally shown useful form, can build on her recent Leopardstown success, especially with conditions in her favour. Strutter was too fresh and keen on his recent reappearance run but it is encouraging Paul Townend takes the ride on him. Race-fit Karafon is rated 120 and is expected to be in the mix.

It seems safe to assume that STRUTTER failed to do himself justice at Leopardstown on his chasing debut. He may make amends now

MAGIC SADLER is a nine-time point-to-point winner who has good recent form. He has contested just four previous hunter chases, finishing second twice and also unseating rider at Thurles in January but should take all the beating being a dependable performer. Cause For Comment has finished second in both his hunter chase appearances and while he won a recent maiden point-to-point, lacks the selection's experience. West Of Idaho steps up in grade having won twice between the flags recently and can enter the reckoning.

This may boil down to a match. Magic Sadler is a prolific winner in points but slight preference is for CAUSE FOR COMMENT
