A race in which trainer Henry De Bromhead appears to hold a particularly strong hand. Slight preference is for GORGEOUS TOM, who ran one of his better races to date when fourth behind the subsequent Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner here in November. The six-year-old had to settle for second behind another future Grade 1 winner at Navan next time, while Tramore may not have played to his strengths most recently. It shouldn't be long before he sheds his maiden tag. Jasko Des Dames, a winner in France, has reached the frame on both starts over hurdles since arriving in Ireland and looks the biggest danger to his stablemate. Bumper winner The Busy Fool has shown enough in two runs over flights to suggest he can get involved here.

The finish may be fought out by the Henry de Bromhead-trained duo, JASKO DES DAMES and Gorgeous Tom. The latter's form looks very solid in the context of this race and he's not passed over lightly, but Jasko Des Dames, who is the mount of stable jockey Rachael Blackmore, appears to possess the greater potential and he split a couple of useful novices when runner-up in a big-field Punchestown maiden in January. Touch Me Not is third choice ahead of Special Cadeau and The Busy Fool.

It may be worth taking on a chance on GORGEOUS TOM who chased home Caldwell Potter on his penultimate start and ran well again latest

THE GREAT UNKNOWN showed enough in two starts against geldings earlier in the campaign to suggest she can make it third-time lucky under Rules. Having a first outing against her own sex, the five-year-old looks well placed to make the most of the opportunity. Her biggest threat could come from stablemate Garde La Peche, who easily beat a subsequent dual hurdles winner on her sole point-to-point start and something was clearly amiss when she failed to fire on her racecourse debut at Limerick over Christmas. Former French Flat winner Got Glory is another capable of much better. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was considered smart enough to make her Irish debut in Grade 1 company last April.

The Willie Mullins-trained Got Glory is basically an unknown quantity and slight preference is for MAGIC DAWN

TOTO TOO has every chance of making a winning start to life with trainer Gavin Cromwell. Runner-up on his racecourse debut in a Galway bumper last August, the Ocovango gelding then won his first two outings over hurdles. Although slightly disappointing when upped in class at Cheltenham when last seen, the seven-year-old is very lightly raced and open to improvement. Stoke The Fire is difficult to assess given he has yet to receive a mark over hurdles. However, Willie Mullins would have had a multitude of options for this race, so the fact he relies on the five-year-old could be significant. Impressive Listowel winner Aeros Rock could also have more to offer, especially with connections reaching for a first-time tongue-tie.

Preference is for UNDENIABLE ALIBI, who got off the mark at Clonmel in February and remains open to further improvement. Stoke The Fire and Como Park rate the principal dangers.

A good little heat. FAULTY deserved a win which came in snug fashion at Down Royal and he can build on that. Toto Too is feared

VERBAL SPARRING can recover losses having held every chance when falling at the final flight at this track last month. Sent off favourite on the back of a promising runner-up effort here, he obviously has a liking for the venue. Still well handicapped relative to his mark on the Flat, the five-year-old can register a first career success. Papa Barns is also a long-standing maiden, but the Tom Dreaper-trained seven-year-old caught the eye staying on late in a better contest at Leopardstown. Ladyeze Man, who has been off the track since just being denied at Cork in October, would have to be given a serious chance if fit enough.

Preference is for COILLTE ARIS, who acquitted herself well on yard debut at Clonmel in January and has the assistance of Paul Townend. Verbal Sparring and Tell Us This head the list of dangers.

IT may be worth giving another chance to VERBAL SPARRING, a faller at the last flight at Naas on his latest start

Recent Fairyhouse runner-up SOLLY ATTWELL can go one place better for the in-form Cian Collins yard. Having reached the frame in four of his six point-to-point starts, the six-year-old initially faced some stiff opposition in his maiden hurdles but showed a lot more on his handicap debut last time. With the benefit of that experience, he should be hard to beat, despite the large field. Jouster justified favouritism in that aforementioned race, but has work to do if he is to confirm form on these revised ratings. Nonetheless, the Gavin Cromwell-trained five-year-old has to be respected. Stealthy Tom would be a danger to all off his much lower hurdles rating if fit after an absence.

SOLLY ATTWELL was denied by Jouster at Fairyhouse last time but was strong at the finish and, on better terms, is worth a chance to reverse the form with Jack Kennnedy booked. Hillsdale is an obvious danger to the pair of them after scoring at this course last month and Stealthy Tom can't be ruled out from a significantly lower hurdles mark.

Paul Townend takes a rare outside ride on HILLSDALE who should relish this step up in trip and may be able to defy his 10lb rise

Although disappointing in two runs since her shock Limerick win over Christmas, the William Murphy-trained AGHMOROUGH BRIDGE might be worth another chance in this ordinary contest. A three-time point-to-point winner, she is now reunited with Moira McElligott, who was on board for two of those successes between the flags. Everystep Oftheway is a maiden under both codes, but ran one of his better races when third here last March. Stepping up to this distance for the first time may well bring about further improvement in the six-year-old. Championship leader Jack Kennedy takes the ride on his brother Michael's Jeronimo De L'ouch. The five-year-old makes his handicap debut here after the mandatory three starts in maiden company.

Plenty are in with a shout. JERONIMO DE L'OUCH looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so Michael Kennedy's low-mileage 5-y-o gets the nod at the chief expense of Punchestown chasing fourth Everystep Oftheway who reverts to this sphere on a lenient mark. Lucy Prunella is another who can have a say now stepping into handicap company along with in-form pair Padraig Boy and Mahler Appeal.

The form of the Navan contest in which PADRAIGS BOY was fourth has worked out well and he should have a decent chance down in grade

With form of his point-to-point second at Lingstown having subsequently been well advertised by the winner, OL MAN DINGLE can make a successful start to life under Rules. The Eoin Griffin-trained five-year-old was always prominent in that race, leading at the last and only losing out by a neck at the finish. Forty Coats, who won his only point-to-point start at Ballinaboola last month, also makes his Rules debut. Having his first run for Henry De Bromhead, the Diamond Boy gelding has obviously been pleasing connections at home. Although somewhat exposed after five outings, the John Ryan-trained Drumgill looks best of those with previous racecourse experience.

FORTY COATS showed plenty in a point and, having joined Henry de Bromhead he makes plenty of appeal starting out in a race that might not take much winning, acknowledging If You Let Me and Machismo may yet have more to offer.

John Gleeson is an eyecatching booking for \Ol Man Dingle\p but FORTY COATS, a point winner in February, is just preferred
