MOLLYS MANGO is the only track winner in the line-up and should prove hard to beat. Disappointingly pulled up on her most recent start at Wexford, the Gordon Elliott-trained bay was found to be 'blowing hard post race', while Jack Kennedy reported 'that his mount ran keen'. That Wexford contest was her first try over 2m4f and back in trip now, it's difficult to look beyond the Caldwell Construction-owned six-year-old, who is from the family of 2014 Stayers' Hurdle winner More Of That. Jazzie De Chaillac has attempted to make all on both of her track starts to date and dropping in trip to 2m1f, it'll be interesting to see if she can sustain the gallop. Littlebiggie has a point-to-point win to her name and should be able to make her presence felt. A fair sixth on her debut over flights at Punchestown, she was a place ahead of Clonmel bumper winner Rainbow Trail.

Although MOLLYS MANGO disappointed at Wexford last time she's still a standout in this weak race. Littlebiggie should be sharper with her Punchestown hurdle debut experience behind her and can fill the forecast spot.

A low-key start to proceedings. MOLLYS MANGO, who has by far the best form and wasn't right when disappointing at Wexford, should score

A match between MY TRUMP CARD and I Will Be Baie, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. Bred by Patrick Mullins and a brother to Grade 1 winner Airlie Beach, the selection has valuable hurdling experience to his name and comfortably accounted for nine rivals when successful in a bumper at Navan on his most recent start. Back over flights now, the E230,000 Goffs Land Rover Sale purchase looks an exciting prospect going forward. A beaten favourite on two of his four outings to date, I Will Be Baie starts off over flights. Bought for 150,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point for Colin Bowe, the French-bred grey should give the selection plenty to think about. One of four Tom Gibney-trained runners in the line-up, Ah Remy Martin looks the best of the rest.

MY TRUMP CARD and I Will Be Baie both displayed useful form in bumpers and comfortably rate the pair to focus on. The former is narrowly preferred holding hurdles experience over the latter. Run For Harry and Ah Remy Martin can do battle for third spot.

A two-horse. MY TRUMP CARD, proven on the ground and with the benefit of hurdling experience, is preferred to I Will Be Baie

It might be worth taking a chance on PAY LATER, who starts off for the shrewd Jonathan Sweeney in this wide-open contest. It's interesting that connections are persisting with the 11-year-old, who won a point-to-point back in February of 2019. A fair ninth of 25 on his most recent start at Navan, the Kayf Tara gelding had six subsequent winners in behind. Michael O'Sullivan is a positive jockey booking on the 93-rated bay, who is fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Miss Oreo is a more obvious contender and is given second preference. An easy winner over the course and distance on her penultimate start, she since disappointed at Huntingdon, but could bounce back now with Shane Fenelon claiming a valuable 7lb. Recent course winner Don't Talk and Wexford victor Glorytogod Tom are both sure to have plenty of supporters, while Lovely Reaction, Mac's Xpress and handicap debutant Givehimthehonour are others to consider.

Given a considerate introduction to chasing at Clonmel recently, LOVELY REACTION has long since shaped as though this sort of trip would suit and she earns the vote to come out on top returned to hurdling. Last-time-out winner's Don't Talk and Glorytogod Tom head up the dangers, with Mac's Xpress another to consider.

MAC'S XPRESS has a solid chance in this grade on the form he showed in a much stronger Cheltenham hurdle contest.

CHER WHY NOT is an out and out stayer and won this race 12-months ago. Knocking on the door of late, the Flemensfirth chestnut will again be ridden by David Doyle who claims a valuable 7lb. The hat-trick seeking Duffys Getaway was fourth behind the selection in last year's renewal and is given second preference. After easy recent wins, the progressive Philip Rothwell-trained seven-year-old is now on a career high mark of 102, but might still be ahead of the handicapper. Read To Return, who caught the attention of the stewards at Cheltenham in November, is another leading hope. The Tony Martin-trained bay wasn't beaten far on his most recent outings over 2m4f and he should appreciate this step up in trip.

DUFFYS GETAWAY can go on improving and land the hat-trick. Last year's winner Cher Why Not is a danger, while Read To Return is also a big player back up in trip.

Doubtless Read To Return will be popular again but trip and ground are fine for DUFFYS GETAWAY (nap) who can complete a hat-trick

Paul Townend would have had a strong book of rides at Tramore, but ALLEGORIE DE VASSY is probably the main reason he has opted to visit Fairyhouse. A beaten favourite on her most recent venture to the Co Meath venue, the selection got back to winning ways on her seasonal reappearance at Clonmel in November. She got the better of Instit at the Powerstown Park circuit and that stable companion re-opposes now. Sean O'Keeffe will be aboard Instit, with this 142-rated bay a perfect two from two at Fairyhouse, beating the selection into second when they clashed here in April. Rivere D'etel will have her supporters, but she hasn't managed to win a race in over two years and doesn't appear to be as good as she once was. The other three contenders all have plenty to find on ratings.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY remains one of the best in this division on her day, and following her successful reappearance at Clonmel she can see off stablemate Instit again.

While Riviere D'Etel is a major danger receiving 8lb, it is still difficult to oppose the classy ALLEGORIE DE VASSY.

Four of these finished behind Corbetts Cross over the course and distance last month, with NICK ROCKETT by far the best of them in fourth. A Grade 2 winner over flights, the Willie Mullins-trained selection is the choice of Paul Townend and he should prove too strong for his six rivals. Stable companion Tactical Move looks the main danger. Out of action for more than three years, he was successful on his return at Punchestown and makes his racecourse debut over fences now. That Punchestown success was almost a year ago, with the Stowaway gelding clearly meeting with another setback in the interim. Santonito looks the best of the rest after finishing third on his debut over fences at Navan, while Cheltenham Festival winner Good Time Jonny is likely to come into his own in handicap company.

NICK ROCKETT had a few of these rivals well behind him when making a promising start to his chase career here last month and should be very hard to beat with improvement on the cards. His talented, but seemingly fragile, stablemate Tactical Move is the one likely to give him most to do.

With a clear round of jumping, NICK ROCKETT will be very difficult to beat, as he holds most of these rivals on recent C&D form.

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT might be able to put his experience to good use. The Gordon Elliott-trained bay ran a fine race on debut over flights at Cork, finishing a close third behind two Willie Mullins-trained bumper winners. Likely to come on plenty for that effort, the Shantou six-year-old gets the nod over interesting newcomer I Am River. A E210,000 Tattersalls Derby Sale purchase, I Am River is out of dual winner Dreambaby, who herself is a half-sister to Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman. Carrying the colours of JP McManus, market confidence or lack thereof will be telling. With her late in-laws honoured in the feature race on the programme, Lorna Fowler's Recoded would be an apt winner. Third on his two starts to date in the UK, the Kodiac bay is not without his chance under Derek O'Connor. Donnie Devito was a good third on debut at Sligo and it'll be interesting to see how he fares starting off for Ross O'Sullivan.

I AM RIVER is from an excellent family and represents powerful connections, so he's narrowly preferred to Staffordshire Knot, who shaped well in a novice hurdle Cork recently. Recoded is the best of those with bumper experience.

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT was a fine 3rd in a Cork maiden hurdle on soft. This ground is a concern but he should get away with it.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
