DEMANDRIVINGDOUVAN has some smart bumper form in the book, most notably when finishing second in behind Supreme winner Marine Nationale. He was slightly underwhelming when a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut, but the winner went on to finish third in the Albert Bartlett. He's entitled to improve for the experience and it's unlikely he'll bump into anything of that calibre here. Free Flowing should go well having hit the crossbar at Thurles, as should Arthor, who has experience on his side. Any market support should be noted for Applicationofcash ahead of his Rules debut.

FREE FLOWING displayed plenty of ability when runner-up in a Thurles maiden on hurdles debut recently and with progress anticipated, including now tackling this longer trip, he gets the nod to build on that and go one place better. Demandrivingdouvan rates a big threat though judged on his exploits for Gordon Elliott, with Ik's Man completing the shortlist.

A fine recent comeback run at Thurles when a 50-1 shot puts FREE FLOWING to the forefront here, although facing a sterner stamina test

Down in class, this looks a gilt-edged opportunity for the Henry De Bromhead-trained MUSIC OF TARA to open her account, having filled the runner-up spot in handicap company at Navan last time out. Her main danger might come in the form of Roccos Inspiration, who lost nothing in defeat when runner-up to an odds-on favourite at Clonmel last month. Desert Heather and Emily Roebling are both capable of throwing down a stern challenge, while Silent Approach, who finished a staying-on second over 2m at Gowran, could find improvement up in trip.

MUSIC OF TARA would have won had she jumped better in the straight at Navan and is fancied to make amends. Emily Roebling and Desert Heather can place again.

Back in maiden company this looks a good opportunity for MUSIC OF TARA providing she avoids serious error

It took a while for Pure Sirloin to get the hang of things but he's started this year in better form and hinted that he's a stayer in the making with a respectable third in a Leopardstown handicap, which was his first attempt at this trip. There is likely to be more to come and he is taken seriously, but JUMPING JET stayed on well to win over 2m4f at the same course a day earlier and she edges preference now she steps up in distance. Hardy Bloke is dropped in class and also warrants respect.

Not much to choose between the sextet but PURE SIRLOIN is the progressive one so could be the way to go. Hardy Bloke has improved for the step up to 3m and is next best.

This is a big drop in class for HARDY BLOKE (nap) and a reproduction of either of his last two runs should suffice

MYLESTOWN UPPER showed marked improvement to land a beginners chase at Thurles on his most recent outing and he is taken to cope with the burden of top weight on his handicap debut. Chief amongst the opposition is Mercury Lane, who drops in distance after fending off one of the selection's stablemates at Wexford and he can go well again if the trip isn't an issue. Baldur's Gate is lightly raced under Rules and also rates as a serious threat after a near-miss in a handicap chase at Thurles.

BRIDESWELL LAD has the race at his mercy when unseating the rider at the last in novice company 4 weeks ago. He was set to show much-improved form in the process so now looks well treated back in a handicap. Mercury Lane landed a gamble last time, while Mylestown Upper wasted no time surpassing his hurdles form switced to fences and he remains of interest.

Rachael Blackmore got a good tune out of BALDUR'S GATE when he was second at Thurles and the unexposed bottom weight can go one better

BIG DEBATES appeared to hold every chance when falling late on at Gowran Park earlier in the month, and compensation could await in these calmer waters. Darver Star found the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse beyond him in December and is better judged on his hat-trick of wins over hurdles prior to that defeat. The handicapper has given Gavin Cromwell's 2020 Champion Hurdle third some respite over fences and he isn't taken lightly. Impact Factor is worth a check in the market on this return from a long absence.

GLAMORGAN DUKE failed to cut much ice in the Ultima at the recent Cheltenham Festival but should find life easier in these calmer waters and he's well treated on the form he showed when second in a competitive race at the Dublin Racing Festival. Impact Factor hasn't been seen for over 2 years but that success came after a lay-off so it would be no surprise were new trainer Henry de Bromhead to have him primed for a big run.

This is tricky but maybe R'EVELYN PLEASURE, tried for the first time in blinkers, can repeat last year's success off the same mark

FOX LE BEL comes with risks attached given that he remains a maiden after 24 appearances, but there was little wrong with his latest third at Clonmel. The second went on to win 10 days later, and a first success could be on the cards for the Liz Doyle-trained eight-year-old. Finnians Row has been performing with credit over 2m4f of late and looks a potential improver on this step up in trip, while Coolcullen failed to fire on his handicap debut over fences at Fairyhouse but it's still relatively early days and this should reveal more.

FOX LE BEL shaped quite well at Clonmel last time and perhaps this can be the day he finally gets off the mark. Aodhan May can have a line put through her run here last time and rates an obvious threat on her Down Royal second prior to that. The shortlist is completed by Finnians Row who ran well for fourth over a shorter trip here last time.

Her Down Royal second suggested AODHAN MAY could come into her own over this longer trip

MADE IN THE WOODS deservedly got off the mark at the chief expense of a subsequent winner at Limerick, and an 8lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. The six-year-old had been runner-up on his four previous runs, so consistency is not an issue, and he can overturn form with Trickey Trix (first) from their meeting at Clonmel. A winner of two of her last three over hurdles, Birdie Blitz is a key player off a comparatively lenient figure. Stolen Moment is also of interest on her chasing bow.

BIRDIE BLITZ won comfortably off a 5 lb higher mark over hurdles last time so is potentially well handicapped back chasing. Last-time-out scorers Made In The Woods and Trickey Trix can battle it out for minor honours.

The more competitive division but hurdles winner BIRDIE BLITZ could prove thrown in on this mark on handicap chase debut
