SLIM MARVEL is worth another chance here having run better than her final placing suggests at Bellewstown on Saturday. Runner-up at Wexford on her previous start, the Andrew Slattery-trained mare was short of room at a crucial stage last time, before running on again to finish sixth. A consistent sort in recent starts, the six-year-old looks to have solid claims of opening her account over hurdles. Listowel second Magic Dawn has to be a contender for the in-form Gordon Elliott yard. A former point-to-point winner, the daughter of Doyen should appreciate stepping back up in trip. Four Clean Aces needs to improve on her bare form over flights but the unbeaten bumper winner is in the right hands to do just that.

SLIM MARVEL sets the standard on the pick of her form and is the percentage call to get off the mark in an ordinary maiden. Magic Dawn can give another good account back up in trip, with Ciao Adios taken to fill the places.

No outstanding candidate but it could pay to side with the experienced MAGIC DAWN back up in trip here

In what looks an ordinary affair for the grade, the 104-rated TIME FOR TEA may be good enough to get off the mark. Henry de Bromhead's lightly raced mare has shown enough in five starts to suggest she can win races. While handicaps possibly represent her best opportunity, this doesn't appear to be the strongest of maidens. Recent Bellewstown third Churchwarden is steadily improving since switching to jumping. A fair 74-rated handicapper on the level, the John McConnell-trained gelding has run well on a couple of occasions of late. Naas runner-up King Kali had excuses at Tipperary last time. A reproduction of his earlier effort would make the Sean Byrne-trained eight-year-old a serious contender.

CHURCHWARDEN wasn't at his very best when third at Bellewstown last week but even a repeat of that form should see him go close at the least here. Henry de Bromhead's Time For Tea will be a danger if recapturing the form she showed when fourth at Downpatrick last winter. Gordon Elliott's Someone's Wish has been running with credit in handicaps in recent weeks and also makes the shortlist.

If able to run to anything like her Down Royal run last season TIME FOR TEA (nap) could take some beating, receiving all the allowances

Having improved over fences in recent times, THE BIG CHAP has to be of interest back over hurdles here. The Paul Flynn-trained seven-year-old is rated 13lb below his current chase mark so may be able to exploit that on a track where he has been successful in the past. While this may well be a prep run before reverting to fences, the gelding has run well off a break previously. Listowel third War Correspondent has only one hurdle win to his name but is undoubtedly well treated relative to his mark on the level. It would be no surprise to see the Ray Cody-trained grey involved. Rated much higher at one stage of his career, Ballywilliam Boy has gradually been finding his form in recent months.

CHAMPELLA has been shaping up well recently and is taken to resume winning ways. Hands On wasn't seen to best effect on his Punchestown handicap debut and remains an interesting one for handicaps, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Ballywilliam Boy was a good second at Tramore last week and also makes the shortlist along with Luminous Light.

Very open but perhaps NATURAL LOOK can make an immediate repayment for her new connections

Fourth over fences at Clonmel last time, ONEFORTHEDITCH might be able to open her account under rules now. The Eamonn Francis Gallagher-trained mare had won a point-to-point Ballindenisk on her previous outing. Relatively lightly raced over hurdles, the Shirocco mare had finished second at Cork last October. Recent Sligo sixth Hollow Spark had run well when third at Tramore on her penultimate start. The form of that latter race received a boost when the winner followed up at Cork on his next outing. Dual point-to-point winner Beau's Candle is interesting in first-time blinkers. Runner-up over hurdles at Punchestown in February, the Declan Queally-trained gelding failed to complete on two subsequent starts.

Having run his best race to date when runner-up on yard debut at Punchestown in February, BEAU'S CANDLE had yet to be asked for hs effort when falling 2 out at Downpatrick 4 weeks ago and he's worth another chance with blinkers now reached for. Onefortheditch and Hatfield Hammer are others to consider.

There should be more to come from HATFIELD HAMMER and he can improve enough from his solid Roscommon run last time.

A reproduction of her recent fourth at Roscommon would probably be good enough to see KATHERINE register a second career success. The form of that latter race received a boost when the runner-up went on to win at Sligo next time. Given that she was only beaten a length by that subsequent winner despite being short of room at a crucial stage, the Adrian Sexton-trained mare should go close. As she has run some of her best races on tight right-handed tracks such as this, Cruisin Susan has to be considered. Although yet to add to her Tramore maiden win from almost two years ago, the Walk In The Park mare has run well on a number of occasions. Having shown definite improvement on her latest two runs, Sydney Cruiser commands respect in a first-time hood.

This is a weak contest and it's worth chancing the well-handicapped CRUISIN SUSAN, who took a step back in the right direction at Tramore last time. Sydney Cruiser is worthy of respect and Kilashee could get competitive despite her quirks.

An unexposed mare who has been running well in defeat in maidens and handicaps lately, SYDNEY CRUISER is worth a chance.

Despite being raised 12lb for an easy Punchestown win in May, WESTERN MODEL should be capable of following up. With the seven-length runner-up easily landing a competitive handicap at Listowel on his next start and the third just beaten a head at Bellewstown, the form has a strong look. Paul Nolan's five-year-old seems to appreciate a decent surface so the less rain that falls, the better his chances. Pat Doyle's Safran Et Bleu won a handicap over course and distance last time. Although subsequently raised 6lb, his riders claim brings him right back into contention. Another recent course and distance winner Reserve Judgement has more on his plate here but can't be ruled out given he is proven around this tight track.

This could a be a good race for the grade with WESTERN MODEL and Safran Et Bleu last-time-out winners and unexposed over 3m, while Ceanndana has been in top form over fences of late. Marginal preference is for the Paul-Nolan trained inmate.

Though WESTERN MODEL got a hefty hike for winning eaily at Punchestown last time, he is a young, improving horse and can defy that.

Recent Mayo National runner-up SALVADOR ZIGGY might be able to go one place better under Jake Coen. Despite having to concede weight all round, the Gordon Elliot-trained eight-year-old has the class to be involved at the finish. Even at these revised weights, the gelding has every chance of confirming form with those that finished behind him at Ballinrobe last time. Stablemate Tullybeg is certainly one that may have taken a step forward from that aforementioned race. A staying on fifth on that occasion, it was only the geldings second start since November. A previous course winner, the nine-year-old has the services of Danny Gilligan in the plate. Mousey Brown took full advantage of a lenient chase mark of late but will need to take another step forward to complete the hat-trick.

Thriving-mare MOUSEY BROWN has gone up plenty in the weights on the back of her Punchestown victory 33 days ago, yet she ran out a most impressive winner then and just about shades the vote to come out on top again and complete the hat-trick given she remains unexposed over staying trips. Amirite, Duffle Coat and Salvador Ziggy are others to consider. Ontheropes is another with claims on the pick of his form in this sphere.

AMIRITE is still relatively lightly-raced over fences and his fine run in the Bet365 Gold Cup is as strong form as on offer here.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained PRAIRIE DANCER can register a first career success over fences. A high class flat handicapper who also won on four occasions over hurdles, the six-year-old shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Tipperary on his most recent outing over fences. Entitled to improve from that, his second ever chase, the gelding should be ideally suited to making the running around a tight track such as this. Although a long way behind Prairie Dancer at Tipperary, Bardenstown Lad returned to form when winning over hurdles at this venue last time. A former winning point-to-pointer, the John McConnell-trained gelding has to be a contender. Limerick runner-up Stuzzikini is another to consider, especially as a former course winner over hurdles here.

PRAIRIE DANCER ran well on his latest effort in this sphere and, having performed respectably on the Flat last time, he makes most appeal. Bardenstown Lad is an obvious threat if he can reproduce his hurdles form and Stuzzinki should be involved.

Perhaps an opportunity for PRAIRIE DANCER to score at the third attempt chasing, this turning track likely to suit the front-runner
