The Noel Meade-trained GAME ON sets a fair standard in this opening contest. A former point-to-point runner-up, the gelding disappointed on his racecourse debut at Punchestown in February but has reached the frame on his two most recent starts. Third over course and distance last time, he proved that he was capable of handling the undulations of this track and, from an official rating of 112, the son of Jack Hobbs is entitled to be bang there at the finish. Fool Me Once also has recent form at this venue, having been runner-up here on his penultimate start. Stepping up in trip should suit the Gavin Cromwell-trained runner. Mister Frostie should also be competitive for his locally based yard.

A reproduction of GAME ON (nap)'s C&D third in late Marh will probably be good enough to land the spoils here

OUR ZEBO broke his maiden in fine style by romping home in a similar event at Tramore last month. Even a 12lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent Noel Kelly's six-year-old from following up if he shows the same level of enthusiasm. With this being just his third start since blinkers were added, there could be plenty more to come. Sights Unseen, Mother Ship and Bishbashbosh are suggested as each-way options to consider.

With a big swing in the weights and her rider's claim, MOTHERSHIP may turn the tables on her Tramore conqueror Our Zebo

KILLIAN'S GARDEN has shaped well enough in three previous starts to suggest he can win an ordinary maiden such as this one. Outpaced before staying on nicely at Ballinrobe on his most recent start, the Ciaran Murphy-trained gelding should benefit from the stiffer test here. Although his profile suggests he is one for handicaps, this looks a very winnable contest. Ayr bumper winner Jazz De Cotte has to concede weight to his rivals as a result of that previous success. However, the Fly With Me gelding has the potential to make his presence felt all the same. Tramore runner-up Sea Of Doubt wouldn't need to improve a great deal in order to be involved for Ian Donoghue.

Value may be had in KILLIAN'S GARDEN, who flew home for fourth in a decent Ballinrobe maiden and should relish this stiffer test

Following an eye-catching run on the Flat at Navan recently, MISS GITANA is interesting back over flights. A dual winner in the latter discipline, the Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old is relatively unexposed over hurdles after just the five career starts. Although her jumping needs to improve, she shaped with definite promise when third at Down Royal on her most recent outing under National Hunt rules. A mark of 94 could prove to be very lenient once the daughter of Nathaniel gets her jumping together. Billie Frechette is worthy of consideration on her handicap debut. Noel Meade's filly was another who suffered an interrupted passage on the Flat last time. Runner-up on her last three runs, Queenofthelodge should again be competitive.

Preference is for handicap debutante BILLIE FRECHETTE who has been in fine form on the Flat recently.

Having scored over course and distance last August, CALAHILL holds strong claims for Cian Collins. Although absent since a disappointing run at Tramore the following month, runners from this stable seldom fail through lack of fitness. Very lightly raced for a 10-year-old, the Califet gelding remains open to improvement over fences this term. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market after an absence. A point-to-point runner-up, Person Of Interest is difficult to assess on his chasing debut. Third over hurdles at Clonmel last time, the five-year-old could be well treated. Dee's Getaway, a winner over hurdles at Tramore last season, also merits consideration in an open affair.

PERSON OF INTEREST hasn't fulfilled his potential but has the ability to win a race of this nature if jumping soundly on chasing debut.

A progressive gelding when last seen, GENERAL HUBBLE may be open to further improvement this term. Fourth on his most recent start at Fairyhouse in November, the Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old had won his two previous outings. His profile suggests that he is a horse who comes to hand quickly, as he has won and been placed off the back of a break in previous campaigns. It would be no surprise to see a bold showing from the son of Telescope. Jimli's Cave, who sole win over hurdles came at this track, is sure to have been laid out by shrewd local connections. Down Royal runner-up College Causeway should also be competitive for trainer John McConnell.

A big improver last autumn, GENERAL HUBBLE has won when fresh in the past and he makes most appeal on return

A consistent mare, who has been placed in four of her five previous runs, DERRYVILLE can register a first win. The Sam Curling-trained five-year-old finished runner-up to the subsequent Grade 1 Cheltenham bumper winner at Punchestown in December. There was plenty to take from her recent reappearance when a staying on fifth at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. Sure to be all the sharper following that comeback, the Affinisea mare should be hard to beat. With Emmet Mullins proving a real force in bumpers of late, Tricksofthetrade has to be respected on just her second start under rules. A former point-to-point runner-up, she will appreciate this stiff test. Broomfield Aderra also looks a leading contender under Josh Halford.

Poor on bumper debut at Gowran (soft) KENISA SPORT was much better when runner-up at Down Royal and can go one better today
