A maiden winner over an extended 1m4f in April, COMBS ran well against more experienced rivals when second on his hurdling debut at Down Royal. Not fluent on that occasion, Gordon Elliott's representative will need to jump better but should have learned plenty and looks the one to beat. On a line through the Down Royal third, Listowel second Whats New has a bit to find with the selection. He was also novicey over the obstacles last time, but had four of these rivals behind and can contend if putting in a better round. Bibe Mus ran well off a Flat mark in the 80s at the Galway Festival and is one to note on his first start over jumps.

Many of these finished behind WHATS NEW at Listowel last time, despite his erratic jumping and he looks capable of winning one of these

This won't take much winning and DAYDREAM NATION gets the vote on his first start under Rules. The Doyen gelding cost 40,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point for Colin Bowe in March and is related to several winners. The market will indicate how forward he is after a break, but there won't be many weaker maidens than this in the coming weeks and the five-year-old can capitalise. Jackmoon has shown enough in bumpers to make him a leading player if he takes to hurdling. Placed in a point-to-point a couple of years ago, Pas Peur De Toi was beaten a long way at Navan but will be better for the experience.

This is a weak race, so wide margin point winner DAYDREAM NATION is given the nod to win on rules debut

Most of these have shown their best form on a sound surface so much will depend on their ability to handle the likely softer conditions. SWING TIME hasn't run badly on his last couple of outings and was one of those affected by a ragged start when finishing midfield at Roscommon on Monday. He was a little sloppy over his hurdles and can go close with a better round of jumping. Wild Mandate had Tea It Is a place behind when second at Sligo, but soft ground is a concern for both.

Both WILD MANDATE and Stonecarthy left their maiden form behind on h'cap debut last time, with preference given to the former

THATS ALL is fully exposed, but handles soft ground and has held her form quite well since making the breakthrough at Kilbeggan in July. Prior to that victory, the Morpheus mare had a wind operation and her trainer feels she may have improved for that. She travelled well at Navan before flattening out up the hill and this less testing finish may suit better. Corkbeg ran poorly at Listowel, but he had been consistent prior to that. He stays further and handles an ease in the ground, although he wouldn't want it too testing. Leroy Leroy has run well over shorter trips on his last two starts, but has yet to prove his effectiveness over this far.

None of the contenders jump off the page, but CORKBEG is given another chance despite his blip at Listowel

Successful in his first two hurdles outings during the summer, CINAMMON ROLL was a running-on second when stepped up to this trip on his handicap debut at Listowel. He had just come off the bridle when checked in his run at a crucial stage, but finished off strongly in what was a competitive contest on rain-softened ground. The fitting of cheekpieces should enable him to travel better and he is open to plenty of improvement. Carried With Love comes here in good form and may appreciate this longer trip, while Custom Taylor was a game winner of a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse when last seen in April and has to enter calculations.

Hampered on his way to second place in a chase at Galway last month, ARCTIC GALE looks poised to take advantage of a lower hurdles mark

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Galway Plate winner WESTERN FOLD can take this step up in class in his stride. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding put up a fine weight-carrying performance when easily landing the feature race at the Festival in July. Given time to freshen up since, he looks well treated by the conditions of this race. While there has to be a slight concern about dropping in trip, he jumps and travels well enough to overcome that negative. A proven performer at Graded level, the Willie Mullins-trained Blood Destiny rates the biggest danger, but may just not have the stamina reserves of the selection in the latter stages. Affordale Fury looks best of the remainder.

By winning the Galway Plate second-season novice WESTERN FOLD (nap) has achieved a mark that gives him an edge over Blood Destiny

A three-time winner over flights, BALLYBAWN BELTER remains unexposed as a chaser. The Liz Doyle-trained seven-year-old ran one of her better races over fences when fourth in a slightly higher grade at Leopardstown on her penultimate start. On her final outing of the season, she was still in contention when falling three out in a Listed handicap chase at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. If fit and ready for this first start since, she has to be very competitive. Two from three over fences, the Gordon Elliott-trained Boston Rover looks a progressive young gelding. He could be fairly treated on his first venture into handicap company in this sphere. Noble Talent is another with strong claims in an open contest.

There may be more to come this term from SECRECIES OF STONE who had a mishap at Fairyhouse in April after winning well at Leopardstown

Third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle when last seen, FLEUR IN THE PARK can make a winning debut over fences. A six-year-old son of Walk In The Park, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding kept smart company throughout last season. Seldom out of the frame, he has the potential to make up into a decent chaser. Taponthego, who finished runner-up to the selection in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last October, looks a big danger. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding finished fourth in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival and has jumping experience from between the flags. Franciscan Rock may prefer further, but has to be respected.

This looks like a good opportunity for FLEUR IN THE PARK who ended his novice hurdling campaign with a Grade 1 third placing
