Based on the information provided, the horses that are likely to do well and finish in the top three are 1.63/1 (1) KNOCKANARD LADY, 4/1 (11) ROCCOS INSPIRATION, and 6.5/1 (9) MARY CASSATT. 1.63/1 (1) KNOCKANARD LADY has had a bit of a dip in form but has the potential to do well at this trip if the ground suits. 4/1 (11) ROCCOS INSPIRATION has been frustrating to follow but has shown promise and finished a good second in a recent novice hurdle. 6.5/1 (9) MARY CASSATT has improved significantly in her last run and could do well if she steps up in trip. However, as with any horse race, there is a degree of uncertainty and any of the other horses, including the reserves, could surprise and perform better than expected.

A few of these have been knocking on the door and it may be ROCCOS INSPIRATION's turn this time. The Shirocco mare didn't do a whole lot wrong when chasing home a decent sort in Pink In The Park at Cork nine days ago and a step up in trip looks like it won't do her any harm. She gets an 8lb pull from Knockanard Lady and that could prove crucial. Pat Doyle's mare has been placed on her last three starts and is proven over this trip. She sets the standard off a mark of 114 but does have to concede weight to the field. Mary Cassatt ran well in handicap company at Kilbeggan last time and is still relatively unexposed. She looks another for the shortlist.

KNOCKANARD LADY was reportedly found to be in season when disappointing at Cork and is worth another chance as she sets the standard. Roccos Inspiration and Mary Cassatt are the dangers, although Pure Notions would be an obvious contender for Willie Mullins if getting a run.

Having been a big eyecatcher on Friday, WORKFORADIME (nap) may be able to gain compensation with further and cheekpieces likely to suit

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well from this summary, but 0.57/1 (12) THE SHORT GO and 5/1 (2) ALL FOR RACHEL both have promising past performances and could be contenders to finish in the top three. 6/1 (5) EBENEZER SCROOGE also has potential to hit the frame again. However, as there are several reserves in the mix, it is possible that any of these horses could be replaced and potentially surprise with a strong showing.

THE SHORT GO has some strong form in the book and looks the one to beat on his return. The Fame And Glory gelding bumped into some smart sorts early in his career, including The Nice Guy, and was last seen getting turned over at a short price in testing ground at Fairyhouse last November. This is a much weaker contest now and better ground should help. All For Rachel ran well when chasing home Showurappreciation at Ballinrobe recently but his official mark of 105 doesn't set a particularly high standard. Ebenezer Scrooge, third in a Navan maiden hurdle in early March, is open to improvement and could prove a bigger danger.

THE SHORT GO ran below his best when last seen at Fairyhouse 6 months ago but the pick of his exploits over timber gives him sound claims in a maiden distinctly lacking depth and he rates the one to beat in a refitted hood. All For Rachel, on the back of a good second at Ballinrobe 13 days ago, rates the chief threat, ahead of Ebenezer Scrooge.

This looks like a good opportunity for THE SHORT GO who should relish a step back up in trip and he sets a solid standard

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on the limited information provided. However, based on their recent success and form, 9/1 (5) EMILY ROEBLING and 3.5/1 (1) CONNORS CROSS seem to be the strongest contenders. 0.36/1 (2) ABSURDE also has potential as a smart dual winner on the Flat in France, now switched to hurdling. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses would be: 1. 9/1 (5) EMILY ROEBLING 2. 3.5/1 (1) CONNORS CROSS 3. 0.36/1 (2) ABSURDE

The Willie Mullins-trained ABSURDE is an intriguing one in this and the Fastnet Rock gelding can make a winning start for the champion trainer. The five-year-old was twice placed at Listed level on the Flat in France and cost 260,000 euros at the sales last July. He is sure to be well schooled and ready to go for his jumping debut. Connors Cross sets the standard off a mark of 123 and connections claim off him to lessen his top-weight burden. He won, despite running freely, at Punchestown back in February and the form of that race hasn't worked out too badly since. There looks scope for further improvement from the Carlotamix gelding. The mare Emily Roebling was also a winner last time out but is probably a touch more exposed.

ABSURDE made up into a smart sort on the Flat in France last year and, having changed hands for €260,000 subsequently, he could be the way to go now his attentions switch to hurdling for his leading NH yard. Connors Cross rates next best, ahead of Emily Roebling.

ABSURDE was a promising performer middle-distance performer on the level and he could be hard to beat if he takes to hurdles

Based on the summary, horses that have a good chance of finishing in the top 3 are 6/1 (18) PRINCE ZALTAR, 2.75/1 (2) MIGHTY TOM, and 5.5/1 (14) THE BIG CHAP.

MIGHTY TOM ran a big race in a competitive contest at Punchestown last month before landing a Listed race over 2m1f here on Sunday. The Dylan Thomas gelding carries a 7lb penalty for that victory but has clearly relished the switch to Cian Collins' yard and could strike again now stepped back up in trip. The Big Chap comes here in winning form, having scored at Kilbeggan last month. He battled well to see off Laser Focus then and that form looks solid enough. He could be a danger despite a 7lb rise. Viceregent has been knocking on the door for a while and is another for the shortlist. He could be place material.

FLYING SCOTSMAN arrives in form and might prove the answer to this very tricky handicap. Mighty Tom ran a good first race for his new stable when third in a big field at Punchestown last month and heads the many possible dangers along with The Big Chap and Viceregent, who is quite closely matched with the selection on Fairyhouse form before Christmas.

MIGHTY TOM looks like the one to beat after a placed effort in a hot race at the Punchestown Festival last month; he should go close

1st: 1.5/1 (1) SAINT SAM 2nd: 4.5/1 (8) TELMESOMETHINGGIRL 3rd: 8/1 (7) EFFERNOCK FIZZ

BUSSELTON might be able to bounce back to form after two disappointing efforts since returning from a break. The winner of the Kerry National at Listowel in September, he then ran a solid race to finish fifth in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, a place behind subsequent Grand National hero Corach Rambler. Back on a sounder surface now and with the in-form JJ Slevin aboard, a bold bid can be expected from the six-year-old bay. Saint Sam is the highest rated runner in the line-up and is given second preference. He recorded a confidence boosting success at Tramore on his most recent outing and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to follow-up. Fils d'Oudairies beat Saint Sam when they clashed over flights at Leopardstown in March and the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding warrants respect. Telmesomethinggirl looks the pick of the three mares set to take part. An early faller at Ayr last month, she is well-capable of making her presence felt. Effernock Fizz has a course win to her name and can't be underestimated.

EFFERNOCK FIZZ is an appealing alternative to probable favourite Saint Sam. She put in a good round of jumping when runner-up in a Grade 2 Cheltenham handicap last month and could take some pegging back if allowed her own way out in front. Saint Sam duly landed the odds in a 3-runner affair at Tramore and he won't go down without a fight. Telmesomethinggirl is best of the rest.

Having been unsuited by testing conditions on his last two outings, BUSSELTON could get back on the winning trail today.

Based on the summary, the top three horses that are likely to do well and finish in the top positions are: 1. 1.5/1 (10) STEALTHY TOM - The horse won the race last year and has a good record of two wins from five runs last season. It has also performed well in recent races. 2. 5.5/1 (18) ARDERA RU - It has been a fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles and was second in a handicap chase at Tramore 28 days ago. 3. 11/1 (4) HARVEY'S QUAY - The horse has shown promise in its previous runs and is respected on handicap chase debut.

STEALTHY TOM, who is a half-brother to Grade 1 victor Gilgamboa, is a dual course winner and claimed this very contest 12-months ago. Beaten by just a neck in the La Touche at Punchestown, he can gain some measure of compensation now. Enda Bolger trains the selection and he is also represented by Norwigi. Out of a Grade 3 winner in Nadiya De La Vega, she wasn't beaten far when fourth on her most recent outing at Tramore. JP McManus owns the aforementioned pair and he has a third contender in the shape of handicap debutant Harvey's Quay, with this one also warranting respect. Politicise is given second preference. He just failed at Tipperary recently and should appreciate this step-up in trip, with Carl Millar again taking a valuable 7lb off. Magnium starts off for John Ryan and it'll be interesting to see how he fares with Danny Mullins aboard. Gavin Cromwell saddles Broken Ice, Silvertown and Donnrua Dream, with the Keith Donoghue ridden latter fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.

STEALTHY TOM rates the clear pick of these weights on the back of his Punchestown second so rates a confident choice. Silvertown hinted at a revival when fifth at Thurles last time and can chase home Enda Bolger's well-treated 8-y-o, with Politicise appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Preference is for last year's cosy winner STEALTHY TOM who is just as effective over this trip as he is over marathon banks races.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 0.73/1 (1) ANNAMIX and 1.75/1 (2) SOMPTUEUX are described as useful chasers and big players, with the latter having fallen in a previous race while in contention. 18/1 (5) VISIOMAN has also shown promise in previous races but was hampered in his last outing. 18/1 (3) FR HUMPHREY is a revitalized veteran but may struggle against younger competition. Nice to Meet has fair form but may need to step up. Of the five horses mentioned, 0.73/1 (1) ANNAMIX and 1.75/1 (2) SOMPTUEUX seem to have the best chance of finishing in the top three, with 18/1 (5) VISIOMAN as a dark horse.

ANNAMIX has enjoyed a renaissance of late and should be able to account for his four rivals. He took the scalp of both Billaway and Ferns Lock when springing a surprise at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. Making steady headway in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown, he was badly hampered three out and subsequently pulled up after losing all chance. At the age of 15, Fr Humphrey is amazingly bidding for a hat-trick and warrants the utmost respect for trainer/owner/rider Niamh Hennessy. He shocked all in attendance when comfortably beating Rocky's Howya on his penultimate start at Dromahane, with that one unbeaten in his seven prior point-to-point starts this season, while also finishing a close-up fourth in the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival. The veteran showed that success was no fluke by following-up at Stowlin and it'll be interesting to see how he fares, returning to the track for the first time in well over two years. Somptueux also has claims with Ross Berry taking 7lb off. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, he was still in front when crashing out two fences from home at Cork on Easter Monday.

SOMPTUEUX would have played a hand in the finish but for falling 2 out on his Cork hunter debut last month and is preferred to the error-prone Annamix.

Annamix has been in and out this season so SOMPTUEUX gets the nod despite the fact that he fell at Cork last time.

1st: 3.33/1 (1) CATO'S REVENGE 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) LISNAMULT LAD 3rd: 6.5/1 (8) PENELOPE'S CHARM

CATO'S REVENGE has three solid efforts to his name and taking a drop-in class, he is the one to beat on form. Off the track for nearly two years after finishing third on debut at Down Royal, the Notnowcato gelding again took minor honours on his return to action at Thurles in February. Tried in a hotly contested winners race at the Punchestown Festival on his most recent start, he finished a highly respectable sixth. In much calmer waters now, he can be expected to go close, with Phidelma Elvin taking 7lb off. The Willie Mullins-trained Naruto is sure to prove popular with punters. A well-beaten third on debut at Thurles, he can be expected to come on plenty for that effort and could be a different proposition on a sounder surface. The same can be said of Minella Mate who was a fair fifth on his sole start at Gowran in March. A winner of a point-to-point when trained by Adrian Murray, Lisnamult Lad should give a good account of himself, while Penelope's Charm and Orinoco Flow are others that warrant respect.

Preference is for LISNAMULT LAD, who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in Kelso bumper on his Rules debut last month and should have learnt plenty from that. Cato's Revenge and Naruto rate the principal dangers in what looks a competitive finale.

A chance is taken on PENELOPE'S CHARM improving enough from her debut Tipperary third. This shorter trip should be fine.
