CHAMPAGNE MAHLER looks the one to beat in a race for horses who have not finished in the first three under Rules. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was reappearing after a summer break when fifth behind Answer To Kayf over this trip at Limerick and the third gave the form some substance when running well at Gowran last Saturday. It's best to put a line through his previous run when pulled up early after being badly hampered. Ivar The Boneless was a close up fourth in a chase on his penultimate start in France and was absent for nearly two years before reappearing for current connections at Tramore, while Three In A Row shaped reasonably well in the context of this race when sixth to Waterford Whispers, also owned by JP McManus, in a Galway maiden last month. Aghmorough Bridge has won three times in points while Half Off Six Pence was far from disgraced at Tramore last time.

IVAR THE BONELESS failed to meet expectations back from nearly 2 years off on his Irish debut at Tramore last month, but is well worth another chance with that outing under his belt in a decidedly ordinary affair. Half Off Six Pence took a step forward on her most recent outing and is a player back down in trip, while there's a strong chance Three In Row has more to offer still.

The trip could be on the short side but it may be worth taking a chance with AGHMOROUGH BRIDGE, an experienced three-time points winner

INTENSE APPROACH won on his only point-to-point start this spring and has done well since in bumpers scoring twice. The John McConnell-trained gelding looks a nice recruit to hurdles having readily won at Bellewstown and followed up at the Listowel Festival. Henry de Bromhead is represented by Cobra Queen, who won on her second start between the flags and she commands a fair amount of respect. Iceberg Theory made a pleasing start over hurdles when third to Black Bamboo over this trip at Cork last month, while Tramps Like Us, Sportinthepark and Balally Park are others to consider.

MOSSEY FEN PARK was an impressive winner of a point and has picked up for a good fee by top connections, so he's fancied to make a winning Rules debut at the likely expense of Intense Approach, who was well above average in bumpers. Iceberg Theory also makes plenty of appeal in what could prove to be a strong race.

Preference is for dual bumper winner INTENSE APPROACH who showed a good attitude to beat a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Listowel

WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN won a 20-runner Fairyhouse maiden back in January and subsequently kept very good company including when second to Ashroe Diamond in a Grade 1 at the same venue. Jarlath Fahey's charge should be nearing peak fitness following a couple of recent outings on the Flat. Belle The Lioness is Listed placed over hurdles and also won a maiden last winter, while Mollys Mango is another for the shortlist after comfortably landing the odds at Thurles earlier this month. Good As Hell has gained all bar one of her five wins over fences, while Tramore maiden winner Double Pink made a bold bid to make all on her reappearance at Tipperary last month.

MOLLYS MANGO won in the style of a useful novice at Thurles and can follow up with the step up to 2½m promising to suit. The reappearing Belle The Lioness should find this a bit easier than the mares' novice at the Cheltenham Festival and is second choice ahead of Whatcouldhavebeen.

Given that her fitness is not in doubt after two Flat runs WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN (nap) should be able to exploit this opportunity

BRONN and Churchstonewarrior were closely matched over hurdles when fighting out the finish of a 2m4f Grade 2 novice at Fairyhouse and both progressed well over fences last season. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding gave odds-on backers a fright before making most to score over 2m5f again at Fairyhouse and was subsequently third in Grade 1 events at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festival meetings. He receives a valuable 5lb from Churchstonewarrior, who has not been seen since gaining a deserved win in a Navan Grade 2 over three miles in February. The lightly-raced Idas Boy is another talented chaser but may need this after a year's absence, while Minella Crooner also stays well and can boast a victory over I Am Maximus at Fairyhouse last term.

If he resumes at the top of his game, BRONN will be hard to beat. He quickly made up into a very smart novice last season, finishing third in Grade 1s at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals during the spring, and this 6-y-o well have more to offer in this sphere. It's best to overlook Idas Boy's run at Punchestown when last seen 12 months ago and he will be a threat if fully tuned-up. Churchstonewarrior has done little wrong since switched to fences and he merits respect, too.

His links to the form of the top-class Gerri Colombe underline the chance held by BRONN in a likely duel with Churchstonewarrior

HENN SEE gets a tentative vote. The French import made a winning start for the champion trainer in a Limerick maiden hurdle nearly two years ago, but his jumping gave cause for concern on both outings since over fences last winter. He led when falling at the penultimate fence over this trip at Clonmel and his jumping deteriorated in the closing stages last time at Fairyhouse. Hopefully his technique has improved in the interim. Gavin Cromwell saddles an interesting trio including recent Sligo maiden hurdle winner Charming Fortune and The King Of Prs, who won a Listowel handicap hurdle last time. Neveradullmoment won a handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival and made an encouraging start over fences at the same venue.

Willie Mullins' HENN SEE holds the edge on form and is fancied to make a winning return for his in-form yard at the chief expense of fencing-newcomer Malton Groove. Charming Fortune is another having his first go over fences who needs a second look.

The Mullins camp has had plenty of time to work on the jumping issues that HENN SEE suffered from last season. He gets a hopeful vote

BANADA BRIDGE appears to have found a good opportunity to open her account. The selection twice filled the runner-up spot over this distance last season including behind Gaoth Chuil at Leopardstown in March and that form received a timely boost at Naas last Sunday. The six-year-old mare has been consistent over shorter trips in recent months and is preferred to Mythical Times, who indicated a modest handicap could be within his compass when fifth to Getabelle (won again since) over a similar trip at Cork last month. Top-weight Jeriko De Baune was also far from disgraced over three miles at Galway last time, while Collo Meo boasts the best piece of form on his second to the odds-on Castle Town House in an 18-runner Limerick maiden, but was off the course for well over two years before soundly beaten at the same venue last month.

JERIKO DE BAUNE can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent Galway fifth so gets the vote in an open handicap. Banada Bridge is weighted to have a big say so rates next best ahead of the lightly-raced Mythical Times.

Modest fare in which it could pay to side with top-weight JERIKO DE BAUNE, who should appreciate this drop in trip and is less expos

BROWNSTONE moved yards from Mick Winters this autumn and opened his account on soft ground at Fairyhouse last month. The Yeats gelding, who was previously placed on testing ground over this trip at Perth, again shaped well at Thurles last time and connections believe he could be better suited by going left-handed. We'llgowats won over this distance at Cork last year and struck again on her penultimate start in deep ground at Gowran, while the lightly-raced Kiln Time has been tried over a variety of trips and beat all bar Duffys Getaway on his handicap debut over three miles at Fairyhouse last week. Tastyee and Huit Reflets are others to consider.

BROWNSTONE looks the way to go on the back of his good Thurles fourth with this return to a longer trip also a likely plus. Kiln Time is next on the list on the back of his good Fairyhouse second, with Tastyee another who need considering now going into handicaps.

KILN TIME showed plenty on his return at Fairyhouse recently and could take the beating here even though he ideally
