The Joseph O'Brien-trained OUT FOR A STROLL can step up on her recent debut effort at Gowran. Having been held up in rear, the daughter of Churchill really caught the eye staying on late to finish a close-up fifth. Granted a better jump at the final flight, the filly might well have made a winning start to her hurdling career. Set The Tone, who was two places ahead of Out For A Stroll at Gowran, shouldn't be far away again. Unraced on the Flat, the David O'Brien-trained filly has improved with each start over flights. She looks to represent the each-way value. Messerschmitt, rated 82 on the level, would be hard to beat if putting in a clear round.

OUT FOR A STROLL caught the eye finishing best of all on her Gowran hurdling debut 3 weeks ago and is worth a chance to improve. Messerschmitt wasn't helped by the close proximity of a loose horse when jinking and unseating his rider approaching 5 out on his hurdling debut at Killarney in August and can be afforded another chance, with the steadily-progressive Set The Tone completing the shortlist.

Gowran eyecatcher OUT FOR A STROLL can reverse form with Set The Tone, with Messerchmitt a likely danger

The unbeaten KISH BANK can make a winning debut over hurdles. A point-to-point and bumper winner, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old has the potential to make up into a smart novice this season. Having been taken out due to the ground on his intended reappearance at Cork, connections will be praying the forecast rain arrives. Runner-up on both previous visits here, Arctic Gale should again be a leading contender. The Emmet Mullins-trained gelding has acquired plenty of hurdling experience which should stand to him in this company. Although second three times over jumps, he has done little wrong in any of those runs. Off the track since April of last year, Downmexicoway would be a threat if ready after his long absence.

KISH BANK justified good support when making a winning bumper debut at Punchestown in December and is taken to repeat the feat over hurdles here. Mi Lucky Cailin and Arctic Gale look the likeliest dangers.

The one to be on though should be KISH BANK, who should be far more suited by a test of jumping than when winning his bumper narrowly

Beaten less than six lengths in a Grade 2 hurdle on his jumping debut, SPORTING GLORY can strike on his first start for trainer Gordon Elliott. The Fame And Glory gelding is very lightly raced for an eight-year-old, having had just the three bumper runs prior to his first foray over hurdles. This looks a nice opportunity to shed his maiden status before stepping back up in class. Addragoole rates the main danger on his return to flights. Runner-up on his racecourse debut in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in March, the form of that race has worked out well. Twice second in bumpers subsequently, the gelding should go close. The locally-trained Dream Shaper holds each-way claims.

Bumper winner SPORTING GLORY wasn't beaten far in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 on his hurdles debut in March and, with his sights lowered significantly on debut for new yard here, this lightly-raced 8-y-o will take plenty of stopping. He will likely be followed home by the Gavin Cromwell-trained trio, with Addragoole preferred to His Nibs and Bridie's Beau for forecast purposes.

It's hard to oppose SPORTING GLORY, a fine fourth in a Grade 2 Fairyhouse novice on his last start for Pat Fahy, debuting for Elliott

Plenty of rain has fallen in Galway and that is music to the ears of WILL DO. He was beaten just over two lengths into third on chasing debut on better ground over C&D, but the rain makes this more of a stamina test which will suit him. The Other Mozzie won that aforementioned beginners' chase and looks like he could be a better chaser than hurdler. He has to give Will Do 4lb, though, which makes life a bit trickier. Battle It Out has plenty of experience over fences and has kept good company. He is certainly one to consider on his return to action along with Listowel runner-up Sportinthepark.

WILL DO shaped well under an attacking ride when third to The Other Mozzie back from a five-month break on his chase debut over this C&D. He meets that rival on 4 lb better terms this time and is taken to reverse those placings. One Last Tango was fifth in the same race and, likely to be all the better for that experience, he also enters calculations.

The drop in trip is a negative for a few, and it might just pay to side with the very solid BATTLE IT OUT, who sets a good standard

FOUR CLEAN ACES was noted keeping on for fourth over a much shorter trip in a valuable handicap hurdle at Listowel last month. She remains on a mark of 119 and should be a major player here. The market is likely to revolve around Hgranca De Thaix who won a pair of handicap chases at Limerick in March and Punchestown in May. That latest effort was particularly notable and he reverts to hurdling off a much lower mark. Shoot First has been off since winning a Cheltenham handicap hurdle more than two years ago. It will be a tough task to give weight away, but he is worth a market check.

Plenty are in with a shout but HGRANCA DE THAIX looks to have got in lightly back hurdling here after an impressive chasing victory at Punchestown so earns the vote. The Willie Mullins-trained duo Four Clearn Aces (second choice) and Coole Cherry can both have a say and head the list of dangers, with Iceberg Theory, Desert Cave and Early Arrival also in the picture.

Absent since an impressive chase win at the Punchestown festival, HGRANCA DE THAIX gets the vote, ahead of Iceberg Theory

MAHLER APPEAL was in good form when last seen in May. He hacked up over fences at Wexford and then switched to hurdles at the same track and finished runner-up. The horse that beat him by two lengths over flights has since landed a handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival by six lengths off a mark of 107, so there should be scope in Mahler Appeal's rating of 88. Meehall's last appearance in this discipline saw him finish a close second in Tipperary which brings him into contention. Oskar High won over a shorter trip at this track in September, while Derby De Thaix ran well for a long way when second in Fairyhouse.

STOWAWAY LASS would have gone close at the least had she cleared the last at Limerick last weekend and is given a chance to gain quick compensation. Beggars Rock, Mahler Appeal, Hill Rocket and Derby de Thaix head the many dangers.

A chance is taken on STOWAWAY LASS, a faller at the last at Limerick when she would have been at least second and is only 1lb higher

THAT DANNY FEELING was a major gamble for a Listowel maiden hurdle and came home well for third. He switches to a bumper on his second start and has to be respected in a competitive contest. Gaoithe Glory ran on well for second in Listowel and the form got a significant boost when the winner followed up in good style at Punchestown. There was plenty to like about O' Bon Pardon's opening sixth in the Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival in April, so he is a threat. Colcannon was no match for a clear-cut winner of a Punchestown bumper but there was merit in his second-placed finish.

COLCANNON shaped well on a few occasions last season and can come good in this concluding bumper. Heads Up offered plenty to work on when sent off at only 5/2 on his Listowel debut and can provide the chief threat ahead of Gaoithe Glory, who was second in another bumper at the Listowel harvest festival.

It is almost a fool's errand to oppose anything from Eric McNamara's yard at the moment, and GAOITHE GLORY (nap) can land this
