The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Point-to-point winner MACHISMO showed useful bumper form last season and might benefit from a recent bumper reappearance run. He won his point for today's trainer last December before showing consistent bumper form, and while his recent Fairyhouse effort was undeniably disappointing having been well supported, he looks sure to improve racing over obstacles and will now strip fitter, in an ordinary maiden. Elusive Prince similarly won a point-to-point on debut and while he has shown bits of useful hurdling form, was well beaten in a recent handicap and might struggle to beat the selection. Gringo D'ainay is a fairly useful 10-race maiden but is absent since March 2023.

ELUSIVE PRINCE failed to fire in a handicap last time but this looks an ordinary maiden and he's the one to beat if back to anywhere near his best. Gordon Elliott's Machismo has shown ability in bumpers and could pose the chief threat now switching to hurdles. Gringo D'ainay could also play a part if retaining anything like his old ability.

MACHISMO was sent off favourite when fourth in a Fairyhouse bumper on his return and can improve on his hurdling debut

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

STRAIGHT HOME has been expensive to follow recently and while she could ultimately prove to be better over longer distances, nonetheless remains nicely handicapped. A point-to-point and bumper winner, she showed promise when finishing third to Stormalong at Tramore in August and while narrowly defeated at Listowel last month, the aforementioned Stormalong won well next time. The selection has a big weight today but drops in grade. Dual winner Duke Otto has been running well and is ideally suited by this distance but is nonetheless reasonably exposed. 10-year-old mare Romella is a previous course-and-distance winner and is just 1lb higher than when finishing second at Fairyhouse recently, with today's rider now claiming 7lb.

STRAIGHT HOME is progressing nicely for her new stable and is taken to gain compensation for a narrow defeat at Listowel last month. Duke Otto and Romella head the dangers.

Willie Mullins' STRAIGHT HOME has plenty of weight to carry but she looks a class above the rest and can strike under Patrick Mullins

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

TAREZE was pulled up in a Grade 1 contest when last seen in March but had previously shown good form and now returns following a summer break. A point-to-point winner, she chased home a subsequent Grade 3 winner in January and in that Punchestown race, finished 11 lengths clear of the now 123-rated Paggane. The selection subsequently ran well at the Kildare course in February and is forgiven her latest effort in that top-level Fairyhouse race as this is a much easier test. Ad Caelum is fit and well and has proven ability but might struggle to beat the selection, while Cottesloe Sunshine and Milanaway have place claims.

This represents a good opportunity for TAREZE, who shaped well when runner-up in a couple of Punchestown maiden hurdles prior to understandably finding Grade 1 company too hot at Fairyhouse on her final start of last season. Kilbarry Ce Ce could be the one to follow the selection home, with Cottesloe Sunshine and Whispering Hopes both make each-way appeal.

KILBARRY CE CE ran a lovely race on her debut behind a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot at Listowel and she'll relish the step up in trip

C&D winner CARLAS BIG JIM should appreciate stepping back up to this distance having raced over the minimum trip on his two most recent starts. A winner here in February, the six-year-old followed up at Gowran Park on his next outing. Although only fourth at Listowel recently, that form has subsequently been boosted. Wexford winner Win Some Lose Some had looked quite progressive prior to finishing in rear at Listowel last time. The Padraig Roche-trained gelding might be able to get back on track here with the quicker ground likely to suit. Course and distance winner Cozone has to be respected back at a venue where he has excelled in the past.

OLD BILL BARLEY has been steadily progressive this season and arriving on the back of a solid third at Tipperary earlier this month, Willie Mullins' 7-y-o could well be the way to go. The main danger may emerge from Junior Rattler, who was in good order when last seen in the spring, with Jeriko de Baune and Karacole, who was runner-up from this mark here back in May, rounding off the shortlist.

A course winner during a spell of good form last season, CARLAS BIG JIM should appreciate a return to a longer trip after two 2m runs

The progressive SHECOULDBEANYTHING can complete her hat-trick over fences. The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old finished runner-up at Galway on her chasing debut, before winning on her next two starts. A Grade 3 winner at Tipperary last time, she should find this easier despite having to concede weight to her rivals. Listed hurdle winner Space Tourist has yet to reach those same heights since switching to fences. Although successful at Tramore in August, the Willie Mullins-trained mare has been beaten either side of that win. Almost certainly capable of better, the daughter of Jet Away rates the main threat. Calico enters the equation too.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING is going the right way over fences and can notch her third success over the larger obstacles here. Space Tourist looks the likeliest danger.

136-rated hurdler SHECOULDBEANYTHING has established a winning habit over fences and can complete a hat-trick

A winner at Cork on his debut over fences earlier this month, AH REMY MARTIN can make a successful transition into handicap company. The lightly raced son of Walk In The Park had shown promise in decent maiden hurdles over the winter months. Having finished in the frame on his two most recent runs over flights, the six-year-old made an instant impact on his chasing debut. Given his unexposed profile, the Thomas Gibney-trained gelding looks the one to beat. Lake Chad arrives here in winning form having won two of his last three starts. Although somewhat of a Tramore specialist, the gelding has twice been runner-up here. Clonbury Bridge is another to consider on his return to the larger obstacles.

Progressive over hurdles, AH REMY MARTIN made the perfect start over fences when landing a Cork maiden 11 days ago and, with the return to further looking likely to suit now handicapping, he looks to have plenty going for him again. General Clermont, Clonbury Bridge and Lake Chad, who arrives in rude health, are others to consider.

GENERAL CLERMONT was travelling sweetly when a faller at Punchestown latest and he's taken to get back on track back over fences

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Recent Gowran Park winner FINNIANS ROW can register a third career success over fences. The Dermot McLoughlin-trained eight-year-old made all the running to win last time, jumping from fence to fence. Finding plenty when challenged in the straight, the gelding remains fairly treated off just 5lb higher. Having won her latest two starts over hurdles, Katherine is of obvious interest reverting to chasing. After just the three starts over fences, the mare is open to further improvement. Birdsandthebees should strip much fitter here after her recent reappearance. A promising sort over flights, the seven-year-old should be capable of winning races.

WARMER DAYS AHEAD has been going the right way over hurdles and reacted well to first-time blinkers when scoring at Roscommon 24 days ago, so he's worth chancing tackling the larger obstacles for the first time. Katherine returns to this sphere in search of a hat-trick and is 4 lb lower than when scoring over hurdles at Fairyhouse recently, so she's an obvious threat, while there's a strong case to be made for Finnians Row.

A 5lb rise may not stop FINNIANS ROW from confirming Gowran form with runner-up Bite That and fifth-placed Birdsandthebees
