While not the most consistent, GRANPA GER has plenty of experience and should appreciate a return to quick ground. Filling the runner-up spot for a third time on his penultimate start, he then failed to make an impact on yielding-to-soft at Killarney. Back in maiden company and with Danny Mullins aboard, it would be disappointing were he not involved towards the business end. Astelia and Faithful Follower are the dangers. The former has finished second in his two starts over flights, while a big run can be expected from the latter, who was in contention when falling at the last at Bellewstown latest.

Collared late on by a capable rival when last seen over hurdles, ASTELIA looks the pick of them here

It's difficult to be overly confident about any of these. Without a win in 38 starts under Rules, SURVIVING MURMANSK might finally get his day in the sun. The seven-year-old ran with credit to finish fourth at Cork on Monday and will once again again be ridden by Harry Sexton, who claims a valuable 7lb. Splendid Choice finished just ahead of the selection when they clashed at Wexford last month, and there should be little between the pair again. While both have been disappointing, Half Past Tipsy and Sharetheknowledge warrant respect in a contest of this quality, while others to note include Arthur's Victory and Shane Ryder's Destivelle.

This will not take a lot of winning and HALF PAST TIPSY appears to have found a good opportunity to get off the mark under rules.

Willie Mullins saddles two here, with Paul Townend opting to partner Eclipse Chaser over Moon Mariner. In front when falling two out in a point-to-point at Ballycahane in March of last year, he has been disappointing on both starts under Rules since then. A half-brother to Westerner Lady, who won 10 times for Mullins, he switches to hurdles for the first time and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. With an official rating of 104, KILLIAN'S GARDEN sets the standard. He finished with a flourish when beaten by half-a-length at Ballinrobe last month and back up in trip, he looks the one to beat. A commanding winner of a bumper at Limerick in November, Twentyfourcarrot warrants the utmost respect, having had excuses at Clonmel in February.

it is TWENTYFOURCARROT who gets the nod following his wide margin bumper win and promising hurdling second

A difficult contest to assess, with question marks hanging over all of these. The Fred Winter winner of 2022, BRAZIL might be able to get his career back on track. He finished a good fifth of 25 in a competitive handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend and while he has yet to really prove himself over this sort of trip, his class could shine through. Beaten a head in a similar contest at Cork on his penultimate start, Reverend Hubert is the main danger, with Jabbar is another of definite interest. A winner on his debut over flights at Galway in October, he has been campaigned on the level since and now tackles a trip of this magnitude for the first time.

This trip is new territory for JABBAR but he should stay, he's unexposed in this sphere and Jack Kennedy is a notable booking

PRIDE OF PLACE might still be ahead of the handicapper on a mark of 109. He made the breakthrough at Tipperary on his penultimate start and unseated at the first when bidding to follow-up at Wexford. Riggs and The Little Yank were also last seen at the Bettyville circuit. Both finished second in their respective heats and it would come as no surprise if either manage to go a place better. On target in the corresponding race 12-months ago, Hand Over Fist is now tried in first-time blinkers, while Hardy Diamond (first-time cheekpieces) is another to consider.

HAND OVER FIST (nap) is down in grade, a good claimer takes off 5lb and he can get back on track in the first-time blinkers

A winner over course and distance last month, the Shane Broderick-trained A WAVE OF THE SEA can follow up. Despite being raised 8lb by the handicapper, the Born To Sea gelding remains nicely treated and ought to go close. Having failed to see out three-miles in recent starts, Slane Hill looks a real contender now dropped in trip. From a chase mark which is 6lb below his current hurdles rating, the Barry Connell-trained gelding catches the eye. Foxy Girl is another worthy of consideration on her handicap debut.

A WAVE OF THE SEA won with authority here last time and he may be able to follow up that confidence boosting victory off 8lb higher

The Willie Mullins-trained MOJA DAMA looks the obvious choice. A half-sister to a Flat winner in France, the daughter of Motivator should have the speed for this sharp track. Given her stables excellent record in these races, any market support for the newcomer should be noted. With Andrew Slattery having sent out a handful of really smart bumper winners in recent weeks, his debutant, Not So Serious, is another worth keeping a close eye on. The Declan Queally-trained Kashchei looks best of those that have previously raced under Rules. A son of Telescope, the five-year-old kept on late when sixth at Galway last month.

Those with a run don't set a very high standard so MOJA DAM is given the nod to win on debut for the Mullins team
