This looks a nice starting point for Champion Hurdle fifth COLONEL MUSTARD. Lorna Fowler's charge kept top company when reverting to hurdles last season and was last seen finishing third, albeit well beaten, behind State Man at Punchestown. Solness could be a tough rival, though, if the selection doesn't strip fit enough for his return. Joseph O'Brien's charge won a competitive handicap over fences in Listowel and is now rated 154 in that sphere. Kings Hill still has a few pounds to find on ratings, despite getting weight and Jack Gilligan taking off 7lb. He can't be ruled out, though.

COLONEL MUSTARD was a bit below par in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle when last seen 175 days ago but he still stands out on form and takes preference over Kings Hill. Solness can make his presence felt if matching the form he's shown over fences.

The inclination was to find something with which to take on COLONEL MUSTARD but the Champion Hurdle fifth really should be winning this

BOWGATE STREET ran a big race at Galway on her last start and can strike now in against her own sex. The Champs Elysees mare was pipped close home by Ragmans Corner in Ballybrit 17 days ago and is capable of winning a race at this level, despite a 3lb rise. She has form on softer ground, which could prove crucial. Cleopatra's Needle won nicely when making her first start in handicap company over hurdles at Fairyhouse, but her preference for good ground would be a concern with rain forecast. Fair Damsel was a fortunate winner at Killarney last time, but sneaks in here off a mark of 102 and has to be considered as well.

Having finally opening his account on the level in May, CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE was a ready winner on handicap debut over hurdles a fortnight ago. With the promise of more to come, she gets the vote at the chief expense of Bayou Belle and Bowgate Street.

Marginal preference is for Galway runner-up BOWGATE STREET who is versatile as to trip and ground and can get a change of luck

ARTIC LANE has been beaten favourite in three bumpers recently, but may make the breakthrough now that he tackles hurdles. The Declan Queally-trained gelding has jumps experience, having won a point-to-point, and ran a big race in a Leopardstown bumper on his track debut last December. He hasn't quite shown that level since returning, but ran well on rain-softened ground at Listowel and slower ground may help his chances now. The Willie Mullins-trained Caman Eileen commands obvious respect, but needs to improve a bit on her showing at Ballinrobe. Newtown Rambler ran a promising race when second on his track debut at Downpatrick and is another for the shortlist.

NEWTOWN RAMBLER showed plenty in points and made a solid start to his hurdling career when runner-up at Downpatrick last month, so he's fancied to progress past Caman Eileen, who has been underwhelming since her initial effort over hurdles but is an obvious threat if back to form. Will Wilde can't be dismissed.

It may be worth giving another chance to WILL WILDE who looked destined for good things when winning the bumper on this card last year

Dual C&D winner TRUE DESTINY may be able to bag another victory at the track. Noel Kelly's charge ran better at Limerick last time when chasing home Crowsatedappletart and is only 1lb higher. He was an easy winner of this race a couple of years ago on soft ground. Moulane West has been knocking on the door and steps back up in trip now. He could be a danger. Kilmacurkin ran really well when last seen, over fences, at Limerick in May. He could be competitive off this mark, but softer ground would be a bit of a concern.

C&D scorer TRUE DESTINY signalled he is ready to strike again when a very good recent second in a big field at Limerick so looks the way to go here. Moulane West is weighted to have a big say so heads the list of dangers, with Kilmacurkin, Hungry Rock and Wing Back all worthy of consideration too.

Most appeal is made by dual C&D winner TRUE DESTINY, back to form when second at Limerick on Saturday and down to an attractive mark

This is a drop in class for THE STORY SO FAR on his return to action and he may be worth a shot. The Westerner gelding ran in some strong maiden hurdles earlier in the year after winning a Limerick bumper last Christmas. He has a mark of 111 and that gives him a big shout in this. Great Universe is rated 1lb superior, but he needs to show more after making little impact on his return in handicap company at Listowel. Workinonadream has been knocking on the door and could be place material again. She is nicely weighted with Tiernan Power Roche taking off 7lb.

Despite having a bit to find, THE STORY SO FAR surely has a bigger performance in him over this sort of distance so he's chanced to make a winning return to action. Workinonadream and Great Universe are a couple of potential threats.

Gordon Elliott has twice won this in recent years and \bMACHISMO\, no great shakes in bumpers, is bred to make a staying hurdler

CROSSING THE BAR was a bit unlucky on his first outing for Cian Collins at Clonmel earlier in the month and may be able to score now. The Poet's Voice gelding was staying on well when making a blunder at the last flight and did well to finish second in the end. Stamina seems to be his forte and any rain here could help. Gladiatorial bounced back to winning ways over fences here and could be the danger. Donacheady Gale is another reverting to the smaller obstacles after a chase win and also has to come into calculations.

CROSSING THE BAR marked himself down as one to be interested in when finishing with a flourish to take second on stable debut at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and, on a handy mark judged on his exploits for Neil Mulholland, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that effort. Roscommon-second Nevereverever can do better as his jumping improves and is feared, with last-time-out winners Doitforjane Sid and Donacheady Gale others in the mix.

Cian Collins has been a trainer to follow at Sligo this year and might strike again with eyecatching Clonmel runner-up \bCROSSING THE BAR\

Gigginstown recruit BALLYBOW is interesting on his first outing for Gordon Elliott. The Flemensfirth gelding cost 110,000 pounds after finishing runner-up in two point-to-points. He bumped into subsequent three-time bumper winner Takt De Touques on his debut and was a touch unlucky next time when making a mistake at the second-last and also getting slightly hampered. Coral River has good bumper form in the book and looks the danger. He was last seen chasing home a smart-looking sort in Don'tstopthemusic at the Punchestown Festival. Supreme Ruler and Cailin Deas also have solid placed form and are others to consider.

BALLYBOW is a full brother to a bumper winner and fetched six figures after showing plenty in points, so he's a straightforward choice to make a successful Rules debut. Coral River is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines.

Rules debutant Ballybow is feared but CORAL RIVER had two very good runs at the end of last season and should take a bit of beating
