SPECULATRIX won a Punchestown bumper on debut but certainly hasn't enjoyed much luck over hurdles. The selection was set to score when falling at the last in Killarney last autumn and following two disappointing efforts, suffered another final flight exit at Navan earlier this month. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare held a slight advantage when again falling at the last in the maiden won by stablemate Swing Davis, with Magic Day beaten over 20 lengths in third. Cork bumper winner Ufouria and Billie Frechette are others to consider.

A excellent chance for SPECULATRIX to make amends for her last-flight fall at Navan last time when set to win. Magic Day is next best ahead of Ufouria in a thin event.

It looked as if SPECULATRIX was gaining the upper hand when exiting at the last at Navan and she is tipped to make amends

SMALL DOSES stepped up on the form of his first two runs over hurdles and caught the attention of the stewards when staying on into fourth behind Ethical Diamond at Punchestown last month. The selection is reportedly a temperamental gelding but may have found a good opportunity to open his account in this race for horses that have yet to finish in the first three. Beckistine has been soundly beaten in three bumper outings but is an obvious threat judged on his only hurdle run at Limerick, where he'd just struck the front when falling at the final flight. Half Past Tipsy and Ned In The Park look the pick of the remainder.

BECKISTINE again failed to threaten in a bumper last time but he's the clear pick returned to this sphere. Indeed, he looked set to make a winning hurdles debut prior to falling at the last at Limerick in January. Small Doses appears to be getting the hang of things judged on his improved effort at Punchestown and he is preferred to Catchabird, Lambay Island and Ned In The Park for forecast purposes.

Given a home reputation as a temperamental sort, SMALL DOSES is possibly a risky proposition but his Punchetrown run was promising

IMADPOUR won a Cork maiden as a juvenile for Mick Halford but has been generally disappointing since under both codes until running a cracker on just his second start for Ian Donoghue at Leopardstown earlier this month, when beaten just over two lengths in third behind the well-backed Darcy's Friend. Solsbury Hill showed improved form to land an 18-runner maiden on the same Leopardstown card, while Onlymammycanloveme has a similar profile having won a maiden last time at Clonmel and also tackles handicap company for the first time. The Dawn has been placed on his latest two starts including when runner-up to Apologise over this trip at Clonmel, while others for the shortlist include Tyson and Mercury Mission.

The two who appeal most are THE DAWN and Tyson, both of whom have fewer miles on the clock than sixteen-race maiden Mercury Mission. The last-named is respected despite his 0-16 record and a strongly-run race at this trip would certainly aid his cause, but The Dawn found just one too good on his handicap debut at Clonmel and is taken to get his head in front this time. Tyson failed to fire at Naas but has to be of interest judged on his improved effort at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day.

In an open-looking race ONEBRIGHTBLUEROSE gets an each-way vote on the strength of her course form last summer

CAPPUCINO won a bumper in good style at the Listowel Festival and again made all the following month in a Punchestown maiden hurdle. The selection ran a bit too keenly last time when sixth to McLaurey in a valuable handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival and should appreciate this drop in class. Addragoole gained a deserved win when scoring easily at Clonmel last month, while others to consider include Balko D'ange and Fiveonefive. The latter won a decent handicap at Cartmel last summer and while no match for Clarens at Navan last time, may have benefitted from a four-month break.

WALNUT BEACH is potentially well treated in this sphere on chase form so gets the vote. Addragoole won his maiden in good style at Clonmel so is next best ahead of Balko d'Ange.

The returning hood may help \CAPPUCINO\p whose fifth at Leopardstown over Christmas suggests there's a handicap in him if he settles better

MAJESTIC FORCE was useful over hurdles last season winning a Punchestown maiden and far from disgraced when fifth to Golden Ace at the Cheltenham Festival. The point-to-point winner made a bright start switching to fences this term over 2m5f at Cork when only caught close home by Spindleberry, who went on to score at Listed level. A disappointing run subsequently at Naas can be forgiven as the yard was out of form. Cuta Des As was well held in fourth behind the selection in the aforementioned Cork event, while point-to-point winner Zefiro Dodville hasn't been seen since landing a Down Royal maiden hurdle 16 months ago.

MAJESTIC FORCE fluffed her lines when sixth at Naas last time but holds the clear edge on form so is taken to bounce back in style here. Chasing newcomers Zefiro Dodville and Jeriko De Baune could emerge as the main threats to Henry de Bromhead's mare.

Judged on her second at Cork on her chasing debut, MAJESTIC FORCE can win a race of this standard. Her jumping let her down at Naas

LETTERS TO JULIET switches to fences having been let down by jumping errors on her latest two starts over hurdles. She has been poised to challenge on both occasions and hopefully will have a bit more respect for fences. Bite That is bidding to bridge a long gap since winning over hurdles at Tramore and the Pat Flynn-trained gelding has filled the runner-up spot on his last four outings, including behind the progressive Portarlington at Tramore last time with Da Big Fella well held in sixth. Junot was placed on his only previous run over fences and was a creditable fifth last time in a 22-runner Cork handicap hurdle.

BITE THAT's strike-rate hardly makes him bet compelling but he enjoyed a good spell when last seen at the end of 2024 and have his consistency rewarded now. Recent Clonmel third Da Big Fella should get involved again, while Volez Vous should also have a say if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

It's hard to fancy MALTON GROOVE on recent efforts but he twice ran well over C&D last summer and will be suited by the ground

THEFLYINGKING won a point-to-point for Donnchadh Doyle and has gone close on both bumper starts for current connections. The selection was caught close home at Fairyhouse last time and the form of that race has worked out well since. Hank West is an obvious threat having easily won a Lisronagh point-to-point in November and was bought later that month for 195,000 pounds. Kilgame has shown promise on both hurdle starts, including behind Kel Histoire at Cork, while Faithful Follower merits respect if reproducing his second to the long odds-on Classical Creek at Down Royal.

HANK WEST fetched £195,000 as a 4-y-o and is under the care of top trainer Willie Mullins so this son of Westerner is fancied to make a winning start at the chief expense of form pick Theflyingking who may have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Kilgame and Duke's County are other newcomers who command respect.

Three top yards with contenders; THEFLYINGKING, narrowly beaten by decent rivals in both bumpers, sets a good standard and is preferred
