FIGAROC showed marked improvement to win at Clonmel early last month and there looks more to come from the Masterstroke gelding. The eight-year-old has obviously had his issues having only made his first start for Willie Mullins in January, when pulled up at Tramore. He had been runner-up on his sole outing over hurdles in his native France back in May 2019. With a couple of runs under his belt he was a different proposition at Clonmel last time and that form has worked out well since with several subsequent winners in behind. Scenic Look ran on well to grab second in a hot little mares contest at Limerick last time and could be a contender now back in handicap company. Black Hawk Eagle made a winning return on the level at Navan 12 days ago and he looks like another for the shortlist.

An ultra-competitive opener. REALISM looks to have been brought along over hurdles with handicaps in mind and his mark is lenient based on his Flat ability so he's the suggestion, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Razdan and Black Hawk Eagle are both respected on the back of recent Flat wins, while Figaroc and Gentleman Joe are likely improvers now handicapping for top stables.

Tony Martin has won this a couple of times in recent years and BROOKIE, who ran well when last seen over hurdles, gets the vote

BLOOD DESTINY disappointed in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham but looks worth another chance here down in grade. The No Risk At All gelding got caught up in a strong gallop up front then and weakened tamely at the business end. It's noteworthy to see him tried in a hood and tongue-tie now. He had been very impressive in two wins previously and on that form he'd be hard to beat. Mullins also runs Gust Of Wind, who is entitled to be a big player here. The Great Pretender gelding emerged with plenty of credit when fourth to stablemate Lossiemouth in the Triumph last month and is the form horse on that performance. Cougar is another who ran below par last time, at Leopardstown over Christmas, but has been given plenty of time since then and should be capable of a lot better. He is also fitted with a hood now having run keenly last time.

Willie Mullins looks to hold all the aces here and his BLOOD DESTINY is fancied to bounce back from his disappointing showing in the Triumph Hurdle when too free with the hood crucially now going on for the first time. Stablemates Gust of Wind and Tekao look much the biggest threats on form and can follow him home in that order.

Another chance is given to BLOOD DESTINY, who hadn't put a foot wrong before the wheels came off during the Triumph.

CADATHARLA ran really well in defeat last time and can strike again now. He went down by half a length to L'yser over slightly shorter here in late February and the front two pulled well clear of the field that day in a competitive contest. Despite a 5lb rise for that effort the progressive Flemensfirth gelding could still be nicely treated. Heia hasn't been seen since finishing a fine fifth in the Galway Hurdle last summer but she commands plenty of respect on her return with fitness unlikely to be an issue. Ottoman Style comes here on a hat-trick and has to be on the shortlist. The Kayf Tara gelding won a competitive contest at Down Royal last time when the front pair pulled nicely clear.

Lots with chances but CADATHARLA posted an excellent second here last time and looks weighted to go one better so gets the verdict. Unanswered is another weighted to have a say and is next on the list, although a solid case can also be made for Ailie Rose, A Great View and Waittillitellyou in a highly competitive handicap.

There's probably still plenty more to come from Unanswered and Ottoman Style is on a roll but CADATHARLA is preferred

FIL DOR has to give weight to all his rivals but is fancied to come out on top. The Doctor Dino gelding failed to fire in the Coral Cup over in Cheltenham but had been a Grade 3 winner prior to that at Gowran in the Red Mills Hurdle. If he can recapture that form he's the one to beat. Asterion Forlonge made a belated return at Thurles last month but had to settle for the runner-up spot behind Summerville Boy having gone off a short enough price. He didn't run up to his mark of 150 then and although he's entitled to improve a bit he needs to step forward now. It's good to see his stablemate Monkfish back in action and it's encouraging that Paul Townend chooses to ride him. He has been on the sidelines for a long time though and a watching brief may be the most sensible approach with him.

If ASTERION FORLONGES comes on as expected for his recent Thurles reappearance then he could take a bit of stopping. Fil Dor wasn't himself at Cheltenham but will be a big threat if back to his Red Mills form.

In common with two of these, BEACON EDGE bombed out in the Coral Cup but he's useful on his day and might be up to the task

Willie Mullins has a strong hand here with half of the six-runner field and Paul Townend sides with EASY GAME. The nine-year-old bids for a hat-trick in this race and has been kept fresh for this again having last been seen in October. He was in fine form back in the autumn and looks the one to beat again on his return. French Dynamite ran a fine race to finish fourth in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham last month and he looks a danger getting a few pounds from the selection. Janidil didn't have a great passage around in the Ryanair, eventually finishing seventh. He had been good when winning the Red Mills Chase prior to that and is a big player in this grade again.

EASY GAME looked better than ever in the autumn and can land this race for the third year in succession. Ryanair fourth French Dynamite is taken to edge out Janidil for the forecast spot.

Going for three in a row in this, Easy Game is sure to be popular but a peak form JANIDIL would beat him.

STUMPTOWN is a stout stayer who races off a lovely light weight in this valuable showpiece. He wasn't stopping at the end of 3m2f in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival when held in second by a neck. Prior to that, he was a decisive winner of staying chases in Thurles and Sandown. Thedevilscoachman brings a touch of class to proceedings. He has landed three of his six chases including at Grade 3 level in his last couple of starts in Naas and Limerick. He is up in trip by about half a mile, but would be particularly dangerous if getting into a good rhythm with his jumping. Chemical Energy was caught over an extended 3m5f in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. There was still a lot of credit in his runner-up finish and he is a solid contender. Angels Dawn would welcome plenty of rain. She was the horse that beat Stumptown by a neck at Cheltenham and there's an awful lot to like about her recent exploits. She is well up for a battle at the business end. Defi Bleu and Champagne Platinum could go better than their odds suggest. Amirite is inexperienced, but has talent.

The novices usually hold their own in Ireland's premier handicap chase and AMIRITE is a very interesting contender for Henry de Bromhead. He looked one to follow when making a winning start here in October and hasn't had much luck since. This sort of trip should suit him well on his handicap debut and a big run could be on the cards. Kim Muir 1-2 Angels Dawn and Stumptown, National Hunt Chase-second Chemical Energy, The Goffer, and Now Where Or When are among the other key players.

Thedevilscoachman is a worthy favourite but AMIRITE (nap) promises to be well served by the demands of this race.

GATEAU DE MIEL won a beginners' chase by 12 lengths over a similar trip at this track in November. He disappointed on his next outing at Leopardstown, but that was also the case when he ran in a bumper there on his track debut. He is worth another chance back at this venue. The Dabbler was scratched from the Randox Ulster National at Downpatrick this month due to transport difficulties. He is capable of getting involved as he has a fourth place in a good handicap chase at Galway in his locker. Pont Aval hasn't been getting the job done over shorter trips since returning this year off a lengthy absence, so you can see why a step up in distance is tried. Happy Dreams and Sir Bob are others eyeing a cheque.

SIR BOB gets the nod on the assumption that Gain de Cause won't be going to post following his decisive breakthrough success over fences here on Saturday. The selection was toppled when bidding for the hat-trick at Navan but that was still a solid effort. Gateau de Miel failed to land a blow at Leopardstown when last seen in December but was impressive over this C&D previously and he remains of interest. Macs Charm and Pont Aval both make some each-way appeal.

An open race but MACS CHARM is an interesting handicap debutant after running well behind a smart horse in his final qualifying run.

FIREFOX was impressive in scooting home by 10 lengths in a Navan bumper. He had previously shown ability when fourth in a maiden hurdle and second in a bumper, and is clearly going the right way. Fascile Mode created quite an impression in winning a bumper on debut at Leopardstown. There are questions to answer after his next two starts, however, they came in Grade 2 and Grade 1 contests. He is likely to have a say here. Willie Mullins' Ile Atlantique travelled supremely well off the front in Naas, but didn't find as much as expected when asked for more and was beaten into second. That was just his second start after winning a Leopardstown bumper and he is learning the game. His stablemate, Ballyburn, is a threat. He won his point-to-point and graduated to the track with aplomb in winning a Punchestown bumper in February.

BALLYBURN won his only start in points and maintained his unbeaten record when landing a bumper at Punchestown on Rules debut. There's more to come from him and he's marginally preferred to stablemate Ile Atlantique, who is actually the preference of Patrick Mullins. Firefox is also a player.

Patrick Mullins prefers Ile Atlantique over Ballyburn but one who might beat them both is impressive Navan winner FIREFOX.
