Not a strong contest and GINO DRUMMER BOY can get his head in front. He looked set to be placed again at Ballinrobe last time until a bad blunder at the last flight. Previously he had chased home The Folkes Tiara at Downpatrick and a repeat of that run should be enough to collect now. Sam Magee has an official mark of 114 and has to be respected despite running poorly on his last couple of outings in the spring. On the pick of his form he'd be the one to beat and the Jet Away gelding may appreciate a drop in class now. The Shantou King ran well when chasing home Largy Ray in a bumper here a fortnight ago and may get involved for prize-money again back over hurdles.

ZOLPHARINE has shown progressive form in bumpers, so he makes plenty of appeal now going hurdling in an ordinary-looking contest. Sam Magee sets the standard on the pick of his from and is sure to play a leading role if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect, while Gino Drummer Boy is another to consider.

ZOLPHARINE produced his best effort yet when 2nd in a Tramore bumper last month and the 3rd has already come out and boosted the form

EFFERNOCK FIZZ is set to make her 20th start of the year here but the admirable mare has been in fine form recently and can grab another deserved victory. She has been runner-up on her last couple of outings over fences, chasing home a couple of decent sorts in Visionarian and Joyeux Machin. This looks a bit easier off a slightly lower mark over timber. Previous course winner The Big Chap returns from a short break and looks a danger. He benefitted for dropping back to this trip when winning at Sligo in July. As Tears Go By ran too bad to be true at Ballinrobe when last seen in late July and if she can get back to the form which saw her win her previous two races she'd be a big player.

THE BIG CHAP wasted little time getting back on the up when scoring at Sligo in July and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Tom McGreevy isn't the most reliable of customers but would have a big chance if backing up his latest run at Tramore, while youngster As Tears Go By shouldn't be written off.

It is hard to have a strong opinion on this but the hardy EFFERNOCK FIZZ should give her backers a good run

MINELLA DIAMOND is entitled to have improved a bit from the experience of his hurdling debut at Cork and may step forward here. The Beat Hollow gelding was no match for Baltic Bird that day but plugged on to finish second and this looks like a winnable opportunity now. Ideal Du Tabert didn't look totally at home on the track when third here on his last visit but he has to be respected. He has half a length to find with Rocket Spirit, who stayed on well to finish second to Killeemore Lad then. Paul Fahey's charge failed to back up that run a few weeks later when a moderate third over slightly shorter here.

IDEAL DU TABERT sets a solid standard, so he's fancied to get off the mark on his first start for a new yard. Minella Diamond seems likely to improve on last month's second at Cork, while Granville Street is an interesting newcomer to hurdling having shown fairly useful form on the Flat. Iriskana and Rocket Spirit can also figure if casting aside disappointing efforts.

MINELLA DIAMOND followed a bumper win with a solid enough second on hurdle debut last month and he is entitled to build on that here

SECOND SUBALTERN was the subject of a major gamble on his last visit here in early June and may be worth following on his return. He could only finish fifth to Wrecking Ball Paul then but this looks like a weaker race now. It's also looks significant that the seven-year-old takes a big step up in trip now and a hood is fitted for the first time. Tango Theatre was moving into contention when brought down at Wexford last month. The Shirocco mare had been knocking on the door with a couple of placed efforts previously and looks like a leading player now. Cathys Quest ran a solid race when fourth at Killarney last time and off the same mark she could be place material.

TANGO THEATRE has been in excellent form lately and was still going well when brought down at Wexford last time, so she's worth a chance to belatedly open her account. Cathys Quest looks a danger and Native Song would warrant consideration if the market vibes were right.

TANGO THEATRE (nap) has been running well in defeat, including when brought down latest and she's more consistent than most of these

FRAZEL EXPRESS has been in decent form recently at the age of 11 and the Yeats mare may be able to add another win to her CV. She ran a solid race when fourth here over two-miles-three a fortnight ago and this step up in trip again should suit. Moyvilla Lass stayed on to finish fourth at Sligo on her most recent outing and is another who may benefit from going over three miles now. Black Barrel outran his odds when fourth over even further than this at Sligo last time. He looks like another one for the shortlist in a moderate enough affair.

Having showed more than previously at Wexford in May, DOYEN FOR A DRINK was best excused the run when down the field at Punchestown a month later. Less exposed than most and remaining with potential, she could be worth siding with to come out on top following 3 months off. Market support behind Man of The House would look interesting and he's feared, with Black Barrel and Moyvilla Lass others fancied to be in the mix.

There has been some promise in the recent runs of FRAZEL EXPRESS and she should relish a step back up in trip here

NOTTODAYBOBO benefitted from the fitting of first-time tongue-tie when getting off the mark over hurdles here last month and connections have decided not to hang around over the smaller obstacles. From a good jumping family, the Flemensfirth gelding might be able to make a winning debut over fences. Smart Flat stayer Dutch Schultz gained his first win over hurdles at Wexford last month and it will be interesting to see how Gavin Cromwell's six-year-old takes to jumping fences. Natural Look has shown progressive form in handicap hurdles over the last 12 months and was second here in July. Her chase debut third at Tramore was creditable given that her rider was inconvenienced by a slipping saddle.

NOTTODAYBOBO stepped up on his previous hurdles exploits when opening his account in maiden company here 2 weeks ago and, with potential for better still now tackling larger obstacles, he shades the vote to come out on top for his powerful stable. Fellow recent hurdles scorer Dutch Schultz and Natural Look are others to consider. Typical Thomas is another not out of things with a repeat of his latest Downpatrick second.

OTTODAYBOBO\p might be more of a chasing prospect than Dutch Schultz and how the market assesses them will be intriguing

ROTTEN ROW is a course winner over hurdles and got off the mark over fences in a novice contest at Tramore last month. Turned out again under a penalty at the same track three days later, his jumping let him down in the closing stages when finishing fourth in a handicap over a longer trip and dropping back a couple of furlongs may help his cause. Paken's Rock was well held at Galway but won his previous two starts over C&D and has to be respected on his return to this venue. Irish Blaze took full advantage when Top Line Tommy, in front by a couple of lengths at the time, came down at the final fence at Downpatrick. Raised 5lb for that success, Gordon Elliott's charge will be suited by this longer trip. Top Line Tommy, a winner at Tramore earlier in the summer, has to be on the shortlist but will need to brush up his jumping.

TOP LINE TOMMY is hardly prolific, but having opened his account over fences at Tramore in June, he looked set to go in again before falling at the last (race won by re-opposing Irish Blaze) at Downpatrick 11 days ago. He shades the vote in the hope his jumping holds up, with Irish Blaze and Pakens Rock, who has scored twice here already this summer, heading up the dangers.

A trappy race but ROTTEN ROW seems pretty bullet-proof, especially with pace in the race seemingly assured. Pakens Rock is feared

TOPGUN SIMMY was placed on debut at Naas in February when in the care of Ray Cody and has again run well in both starts for current connections. Runner-up in a valuable sales contest at Fairyhouse over Easter, he wasn't beaten far when third at the Galway festival when tried in a tongue-tie which is now left off. His dam stayed well and he may be suited by this step up in trip. Longview Lady found one too good when a short-priced favourite at Killarney in July and gave the impression that she would appreciate a longer trip. Meet My Loreley was runner-up to a smart type at Thurles last winter and may improve from last month's odds-on defeat at Wexford which was her first start for Barry Connell. Workinonadream and Day's A Dawning are newcomers to note from powerful yards.

LONGVIEW LADY was a warm order in the betting prior to making an encouraging start at Killarney and she could find enough improvement to get the better of the likes of Topgun Simmy and Meet My Loreley, who have both achieved a bit more than the selection. Day's A Dawning is the clear pick of the newcomers.
