1.30 Turners Novice Chase – FACILE VEGA 2/1
Second to Marine Nationale in last year’s Supreme. Easy winner on Navan chase debut in November but beaten twice in 2m Grade 1s at Leopardstown since. Would have been a bit closer but for bungling the last when 3¼ lengths third to stablemate Il Etait Temps latest. Up in trip
2.10 Pertemps Network Final CUTHBERT DIBBLE 9/1 EW
Is most progressive and completed a hat-trick on his first go over 3m in handicap hurdle at Haydock 26 days ago. Should have more to offer at this trip. Player.
2.50 Ryanair Chase BANBRIDGE 5/1 EW
Won Martin Pipe at 2022 Festival and took Cheltenham record to 2-2 in a Grade 2 novice chase in November of that year. Rounded off last season with a Grade 1 novice win at Aintree and returned to beat Pic d’Orhy in Kempton Grade 2 in January. Solid form claims but soft ground possibly not ideal
3.30 Stayers’ Hurdle TEAHUPOO 7/4
High-class hurdler who was a close third in this last year when favourite. Better than ever when making it back-to-back wins in Grade 1 Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse on return in December. Kept fresh for this (4-4 when returning from an absence of 3 months or longer) and huge run expected.
4.10 Plate Handicap Chase IN EXCELSIS DEO 10/1 EW
Lost his way a little last season but returned in good order, chasing home the progressive Madara over 2m here in December. Looked likely winner when unseating last at Sandown (15.5f) 6 weeks ago and remains with unfinished business at this sort of trip. Interesting.
4.50 Mares’ Novice Hurdle BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD 6/4
Unbeaten in 2 bumpers, including a valuable sales race at Fairyhouse’s Easter Festival and also 3 from 3 over hurdles, taking a big step forward to land a Grade 3 at Down Royal in November before following up in bloodless fashion at Navan. Open to further improvement and boasts excellent claims.
5.30 Kim Muir Challenge Cup INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN 7/2
Useful hurdler and better form over fences this season. Excellent third to Gaelic Warrior in Faugheen Novices’ Chase at Limerick before not knocked about after a first-fence blunder when ninth of 25 in 2m5f Leopardstown handicap last month. Very much one to be interested in with O’Connor booked.
