A dual winner on the Flat, NDAAWI was far from disgraced in a Listed event last time and this could be a good opportunity if taking to this new discipline. Limerick maiden scorer Ethical Diamond merits respect on his hurdling debut for the Willie Mullins team, along with Mordor and Evening's Empire, who sports a first-time hood having hit the crossbar on her hurdling bow 17 days ago.

Several interesting hurdle newcomers but LARK IN THE MORNIN will set a good standard for them to aim at if making the expected improvement on the back of his promising hurdle debut second at Punchestown. Ethical Diamond, Ndaawi and Mordor head the many likely types among the hurdle debutants, while Evening's Empire is also respected on the back of her Cork second.

Ethical Diamond holds obvious appeal but LARK IN THE MORNIN was of similar Flat ability and he's had a run over hurdles.

Feu Du Bresil found only his well-supported stablemate too strong on last month's fencing bow, and he should be on the premises with improvement on the cards, but the vote goes to MARINE NATIONALE. Last seen cruising to victory in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, the classy six-year-old ought to excel over the larger obstacles, for all that he does have fitness to prove. Others to note include Firm Footings and Ho My Lord.

All eyes will be on MARINE NATIONALE, who maintained his unbeaten record with a fine performance in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March and he is already ante-post favourite with several firms for the Arkle at this season's Festival. Granted a clean round of jumping, he will prove very hard to beat. Ho My Lord shaped with plenty of promise behind a smart stablemate on his chase debut at Thurles and is preferred to Firm Footings for forecast purposes.

This is all about MARINE NATIONALE who is already favourite in some lists for the Arkle. He was last term's standout 2m novice hurdler.

After finishing second in this race 12 months ago, CAPTAIN GUINNESS had the unenviable task of chasing home Energumene and Jonbon at Cheltenham and Sandown respectively. He capitalised on a drop in class when making a successful return in the Fortria and can deservedly register a breakthrough Grade 1 triumph now. A Willie Mullins quartet stands in his way, with Paul Townend on the returning Gentleman De Mee, although progressive mare Dinoblue might be the champion trainer's best hope. Dysart Dynamo and Saint Roi were behind the selection at Navan.

CAPTAIN GUINNESS looked every bit as good as ever when seeing off a couple of these in the Fortria at Naas last month and can provide the Henry de Bromhead yard with a third win in this in the last 5 years. Dinoblue is the mount of Mark Walsh from the J P McManus trio and might provide the chief threat ahead of Gentleman de Mee.

Willie Mullins fields four of the five here but the quartet could struggle to keep Henry de Bromhead's CAPTAIN GUINNESS (nap) at bay

Down Memory Lane comfortably went in by three lengths to be successful on his hurdle debut at Down Royal and looks to have plenty of potential. However, marginal preference is for DADDY LONG LEGS, who took care of more experienced rivals at Thurles on his Irish debut and he is likely to improve a great deal from that effort. The four-year-old could be anything and can take this before moving onto better things. Predators Gold was a taking winner at Punchestown and can fight it out for the minor honours.

DADDY LONG LEGS and Down Memory Lane are two very smart prospects and look set to fight out the finish. Choosing between them isn't at all easy but Willie Mullins has landed six of the last eight runnings of this and Daddy Long Legs, who is Paul Townend's pick of the yard's four runners, was a most impressive winner on his hurdles debut at Thurles and he is marginally preferred. Down Memory Lane's stablemate Caldwell Potter is third choice.

Several impressive maiden winners who could be potentially high-class, DADDY LONG LEGS getting ther nod over Down Memory Lane

CONYERS HILL has been in cracking form since his return to the fray, winning two of his last three outings and his latest third in Listed company at Fairyhouse reads very well in the context of this race. The son of Walk In The Park looks to be on an upward curve and he is fancied to go in again here. Nusret filled the runner-up spot in Grade 3 company at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and he looks like an interesting contender stepping back into handicap company, while Fortunedefortunata is another to note after his comfortable success off 9lb lower at Navan.

ONE LAST TANGO was a good third in this 12 months ago and looks set for another bold bid after his promising fourth at Navan last month. That Navan race was won by Fortunedefortunata and a 9 lb rise for that is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from Gordon Elliott's charge. Still Ciel and Conyers Hill are others to consider.

Very competitive but it could be worth taking a chance on CONYERS HILL regaining the winning thread after an unlucky Fairyhouse third

Desertmore House and Panda Boy give Martin Brassil a strong hand and it would be no surprise to see both go well here, especially the latter after his close third in this race 12 months ago. That said, a chance can be taken on AMIRITE, who looks to be on a workable mark based on the pick of his form as a novice last season. He put in a promising display on his return at Cheltenham in October, where his saddle slipped, and a first-time tongue-tie may bring about further progression. The shortlist is completed by Busselton, Chemical Energy and Real Steel, who won this 12 months ago.

This looks wide open and the value angle could be WATCH HOUSE CROSS, who wasn't disgraced when sixth off this mark in the Troytown at Navan where it was probably the testing conditions rather than the step up to 3m that proved his undoing. With better ground forecast and the return to a more sharp track a plus, he is worth chancing. Idas Boy did the job well at Punchestown and merits respect, along with Adamantly Chosen, who was fourth in that same race. Chemical Energy also has claims.

Winner over this trip over hurdles the progressive JODY TED could have more to offer now upped to 3m chasing

BLEU DE VASSY, runner-up to a subsequent bumper winner on his sole start in a point-to-point, showed promise when again second in two similar races at Navan recently, and can make it third time lucky for the Gavin Cromwell yard. The son of No Risk At All has little to fear from the trip or ground and, with Harry Swan pitching in with his 5lb claim, everything is in place for another big run. Joystick, a 95,000-euros newcomer to the Willie Mullins team, is feared most on his Rules debut, while Major Barry is another seriously considered.

BLEU DE VASSY has been shaping up well in recent weeks and is likely to take a bit of stopping unless the betting vibes are notably strong surrounding the Willie Mullins point recruit Joystick.

The betting could be significant as JOYSTICK's trainer Willie Mullins will have an idea as to where he stands with Bleu De Vassy.
