EMIT had Medieval Night five lengths behind on debut at Leopardstown and the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt took a step forward on his next start when a creditable third to the long odds-on Acapulco Bay, also over a mile, at the Curragh. The form of that race received a boost when the runner-up Genealogy subsequently went one better at Punchestown. Serious Contender showed promise on debut at Naas and is likely to progress with that experience under his belt, while Aidan O'Brien is also represented by Second Guess, a son of Wootton Bassett and out of a half-sister to Derby winner Workforce.

It could be a case of third time lucky for EMIT, who has shaped well in 1m maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh, leaving the impression that he will be suited by this slightly stiffer test. The Ballydoyle duo Serious Contender and Second Guess can fill the places, while Emit's stablemate Junkyard Dog needs a second look in the betting.

Preference is for EMIT after showing nice improvement on his second start at the Curragh with this extra furlong likely to be a plus

PASSIONATE relished soft ground when scoring by six lengths at Killarney back in May and should have conditions to suit given the forecast rain. She again shaped well when third at Punchestown last month and is preferred to Simply Sideways, who won this race 12 months ago and again showed her liking for soft ground when gaining a sixth career win at Gowran earlier this year. The lightly-raced Fleetfoot is held in high regard by connections and should benefit from his reappearance at the Curragh last month. Complete Fiction and Camelot Alexander are others to consider.

If PASSIONATE responds well to the new headgear she could be the answer to this tricky-looking handicap. She wasn't at her best at Cork recently but that was still a respectable effort and this filly certainly arrives here in better form than the majority of her rivals. Last year's winner Simply Sideways and French recruit Titanium both need to get back on track but they will be serious threats if able to do so.

The ground could well be soft, which should suit last year's winner SIMPLY SIDEWAYS, who races off just a 2lb higher mark

POWER UNDER ME has been a great servant to connections and gained a sixth career win on his penultimate start over 7f at Naas. He will appreciate the anticipated cut in the ground and hopefully can bounce back after a disappointing effort in a Group 2 at Leopardstown last time. Chicago Critic appears adaptable in terms of ground conditions and is an obvious threat if reproducing his highly-creditable third to Haatem in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Follow Me won twice at the Curragh earlier this year, including on soft ground, but has been soundly beaten on both outings since. There isn't much to choose between Princess Child, Fleur De Chine and Mexicali Rose on running behind Curvature at Listowel last month.

MAMMAS GIRL wasn't beaten at all far in the Matron at Leopardstown and she will have every chance if able to back that effort up now back down in class. The Havana Grey filly earns the vote ahead of Chicago Critic, who found the Lennox too much at Glorious Goodwood but he was on the up prior to that. Power Under Me is also shortlisted, while Princess Child and Vera's Secret both make each-way appeal.

Preference is for MAMMAS GIRL, who has improved for blinkers and will be hard to beat if she can reproduce her run in the Matron

FEUD boasts an impressive pedigree being a Dubawi half-brother to Fallen Angel and has taken really well to hurdles for Richard O'Brien, winning a Listowel maiden and a Galway Festival novice. The form of that latter success has worked out quite well and he can take a further step up the ladder at the expense of Gaucher. The Frankel gelding doesn't help himself by racing keenly and has had his limitations exposed since winning easily at Punchestown, while stablemate Chart Topper was a wide-margin winner on his hurdles debut at Downpatrick. Sunchart was the pick of these on the Flat, winning a Listed race at Naas this spring, and opened his account at the second attempt over hurdles at Wexford last time.

FEUD has taken extremely well to hurdles and is taken to make it 3-3 in this sphere, with the Willie Mullins-trained duo Chart Topper and Gaucher feared most in that order of preference. Littlebiggie perhaps lacks the potential of some of these but she looks solid nonetheless and should make her presence felt.

The 4yo FEUD can make it 3-3 hurdling if handling likely softer ground. Confirmed mudlark Sunchart could prove the danger

Paul Townend stays loyal to DADDY LONG LEGS, who won three times as a novice last season, including a handicap at the Punchestown Festival, but has questions to answer after two disappointing runs. He dropped out tamely when a hot favourite over C&D in the Grade 3 won easily by Winter Fog in July, with Senecia well behind in fourth, before losing his chance at the start in the Galway Hurdle. Winter Fog had the patiently-ridden Mighty Tom just under three lengths behind when fourth under a big weight at Ballybrit, while Smooth Tom is an admirable dual-purpose gelding but faces a stiff task at the weights.

Paul Townend keeps the faith with DADDY LONG LEGS and his decision may well be vindicated. Indeed, the 5-y-o will prove hard to beat if returning to the level he showed when landing a big-field handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April. Stablemate Winter Fog was a wide-margin C&D winner during the summer and, having performed with credit on the Flat the last twice, he rates the main danger ahead of Mighty Tom.

Daddy Long Legs has a bit to prove, especially on soft, so stablemate WINTER FOG looks a more solid option

EXTENSIO won his only hurdle start in a Roscommon maiden last summer and has progressed well since on the Flat, notably winning a valuable handicap last time at the York Ebor meeting. The Pat O'Donnell-trained gelding is now rated 92 on the level and could be on a reasonable mark back over flights. Presenting Lad has been in good form this year and added to two chase wins when successful over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month. The lightly-raced Old Bill Barley was about three lengths back in third, but didn't enjoy much luck in running and may reverse the form. The Niffler won over C&D in May, while Expound and Vischio are two light-weights who also appeal.

The most interesting one is EXTENSIO, who landed a Roscommon maiden on his sole start in this sphere to date last summer and he has won three times on the Flat since, including a valuable handicap at the York Ebor meeting in August. Expound also landed a maiden hurdles on his latest start over timber and he is a much-respected main danger. Belle The Lioness and Old Bill Barley are others to consider.

The prospect of soft ground mitigates against Extensio so bottom-weight VISCHIO gets the vote

SHECOULDBEANYTHING won five times over hurdles and has taken well to fences, following up a Galway second to Jesse Evans by easily scoring over 2m3f at Listowel last month. A Penny A Hundred has a similar profile over fences having made all for an easy win at Ballinrobe and won't lack for stamina, while Gorgeous Tom made a successful start over the larger obstacles when beating Monbeg Park at Wexford and is preferred to stablemate Music Of Tara. Gaelic Arc likes to force the pace and would have a big chance if recapturing the form of his handicap triumph at Killarney in July.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING is a useful performer over hurdles and looks set to make her mark in this sphere, too, having built on her encouraging chase debut when cosily seeing off four rivals in a mares' novice at Listowel. She is taken to follow up here, perhaps at the chief expense of Gorgeous Tom, who made the perfect start over fences at Wexford and he should have more to offer. A Penny A Hundred is third choice ahead of Gorgeous Tom's stablemate Music of Tara.

The highest-rated hurdler, SHECOULDBEANYTHING (nap) has taken well to chasing and with conditions to suit looks the one to beat

AL ARRIVEE gets the vote to make a winning debut for the champion trainer. The daughter of Tunis is a half-sister to one of the Closutton maestro's biggest achievers in dual Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo. Kilda Kelle cost 100,000 euros at Goffs last year and is related to a number of French bumper winners, while Shadows Of My Mind is another newcomer to note being out of a winning sister to smart jumper Midnight Shadow. Tangara Bay beat all bar the odds-on Seo Linn on debut at Ballinrobe, while Montana Blue had a couple of these rivals behind when also filling the runner-up spot on her only outing at Wexford this summer.

The vote goes to newcomer SHADOWS OF MY MIND, who represents a yard with a 22% strike rate in Irish bumpers in recent years and this filly, who fetched €62,000 last year, is a half-sister to bumper/hurdles winner Shelikesthelights. Al Arrivee is another likely-looking debutante for whom market support would be an ominous sign for the others, and she is feared most ahead of Tangara Bay, who is the most appealing of those with experience on the back of her promising debut second at Ballinrobe.

The one to be on could be TANGARA BAY, who ran into a potentially nice filly at Ballinrobe on debut and could well improve enough
