ZENTA worryingly pulled up on her most recent start but is a Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler. The selection scored at the top level at Aintree in April 2023, a month after her Triumph Hurdle placing, but has disappointed twice over fences. Her Ballinrobe defeat was underwhelming and while she jumped ok in a smart race at Cork in December, she faded tamely but she is much better than that showing. Paggane showed smart form on her chase debut when second in a Limerick Grade 2 over Christmas. She was comfortably held by smart prospect Bioluminescence that day and would struggle to beat an on-song Zenta. Karia Des Blaises attained a Grade 3 second on her chase debut, finishing a place ahead of the reopposing Iris Emery.

Willie Mullins holds a very strong hand and his PAGGANE is fancied to build on a highly promising debut second over fences at Limerick and go one better. Stablemates Karia des Blaises and Iris Emery can chase her home in that order.

Limerick second PAGGANE (nap) is preferred to the so far disappointing Zenta, a much better hurdler than the selection

THELONGLAD showed precious little prior to an improved effort over Christmas and he could win from his revised rating. A fourth-placed finish in November 2023 had previously been his best hurdles effort but he showed better form on chase debut at Limerick, when travelling well before falling at the second-last fence. He has been raised 2lb and is a further 2lb out of the handicap but his rider again claims 5lb. Dual point-to-point winner Glady Max finished second at Cork last month (Mighty Oak Lad third) and while he is rated 11lb higher in this sphere than over hurdles, he should prove competitive. Rochestown has good recent hurdle form and warrants respect as he reverts to fences.

THELONGLAD looked set to make a winning chase debut when coming down 2 out at Limerick and is fancied to make amends here. Mighty Oak Lad could emerge as the chief threat on the back of his good Cork third, with Rochestown and Glady Max also in the picture.

Slight preference is for QUORNOFAMONDAY, who looked to be improving at Down Royal last time

AFFORDALE FURY has been absent for 438 days but has been a non-runner twice since Christmas so is likely to be near peak fitness. Runner-up in the 2023 Albert Bartlett Hurdle, he won smartly on his Galway chase debut in October 2023 before presumably suffering an injury in a subsequent Grade 2 contest. Withdrawn from two recent good-ground engagements, he now competes against more exposed types. Fil Dor has been running well in smart races recently and is dependable, but has top-weight and tries this distance for the first time. Sa Majeste might benefit from stepping up to this distance but needs to improve, while admirable veteran Any Second Now may be best watched on his seasonal reappearance.

In a tricky small-field affair the answer could be SA MAJESTE. A winner on his second chase start at Tipperary in November, Willie Mullins' low-mileage 7-y-o will find this less demanding than his latest Grade 1 assignment over Christmas and ought to have more to offer back over this longer trip. Affordale Fury is interesting despite his lengthy absence and is the threat ahead of Fil Dor.

It may be worth taking a chance with the long-absent AFFORDALE FURY. He has been ready to run for a while and is an established stayer

BALLYSAX HANK debuts for new connections dropping in distance and should have more room for progression, being a big chasing type. His form is mostly on good ground but has been placed on an easy surface in the past and while he was well held at Punchestown in December, he hung left there and was unsuited by competing around the inner loop. That form has worked out extremely well, as recent big-race winner McLaurey finished third. Puturhandstogether will probably have the Fred Winter Hurdle in mind after this run and won nicely at Cork in December. The runner-up and fifth from that race have scored subsequently, while Collaborative has useful recent handicap form.

Not much between these but PUTURHANDSTOGETHER looks to have the most potential after his much-improved win at Cork. Gers Gigi is next best ahead of Collaborative.

This looks open and none of the six could be safely ruled out. A hopeful vote goes to WHIMSY who has plenty of experience

LEGIONNAIRE FOREZ, who was runner-up in a French bumper in November, is being quoted for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and looks a likely sort on Irish debut for Willie Mullins. Gordon Elliott takes the wraps off Shirocco gelding Good To Be Alive who is sure to be well schooled and starts off in a race lacking depth. Ex-Flat Sundance Sioux showed up nicely in fourth on hurdle bow at Punchestown, so he is in the hunt for a cheque. Imarajan is a recruit from the Flat to note after he kept on for second over a staying trip on his last start at the Curragh, while Hobart isn't out of it.

LEGIONNAIRE FOREZ showed plenty when runner-up in a bumper in France and can make a winning start for powerful connections. Good To Be Alive is an interesting newcomer, while Sundance Sioux offered something to work on when fourth at Punchestown.

This looks like a good opportunity for recent French import LEGIONNAIRE FOREZ to get off to a winning start for Willie Mullins

Willie Mullins has landed the last three renewals of this race and his PLACE DE LA NATION appeals. She is a four-year-old French recruit who receives plenty of weight from her rivals and holds a Triumph Hurdle entry at Cheltenham. Mullins also saddles Karoline Banbou who just gave best in second close home at Naas at November. That was her first run for more than a year and she was a Grade 3 bumper winner in her native France. Swing Davis drops back in trip after finishing second on hurdle debut at this track, while there is surely more to come from Glens Lullaby who was decent in bumpers.

The strength in the betting behind KAROLINE BANBOU on her Naas hurdle debut suggests she's well regarded and she can build on that promising second and go one better now. Her stablemate Place de La Nation, who shaped well on her debut in France in the autumn, is a possible big threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Swing Davis looks best of the remainder.

Despite an odds-on defeat at Naas on her Irish and hurdling debut, KAROLINE BANBOU remains of significant interest on her French form

A step up in trip on testing ground is expected to suit MAKAIAH. She outran her odds when keeping on for second at this venue last month and Aidan Kelly claims 5lb again. Elusive Guy showed much more in second at Clonmel and looks dangerous for Jarlath Fahey. Lilian Bland finished third when gambled on over fences at Cork, so has to be respected in reverting to the smaller obstacles. Wendell's Lass was still in there pitching with a share of the lead when she fell two out over a similar trip in Punchestown, so shouldn't be ruled out. Market support for Gavin Cromwell's Mickie Angel would be significant.

THE NAGGER REIDY still looks a on a good mark, particularly if his rider's claim is taken into account, and gets the vote ahead of Wendell's Lass, who looked threatening when departing 2 out at Punchestown last month. The return to a shorter trip could benefit Mickie Angel and he's shortlisted along with Elusive Guy.

Dropped in grade THE NAGGER REIDY can get back on track after unseating last time

NEXT STOP PARIS faced stiff tasks in three maiden hurdles, but two of those runs weren't devoid of ability. He can make an impact off a mark of 102 in his first handicap hurdle for in-form Gavin Cromwell. Chosen Diamond wasn't a factor in a much-higher grade at Punchestown, but should be involved off 2lb lower. Doyen Flyer made up plenty of ground for fifth over further at Punchestown last month. If she can race handier over this trip, she would certainly enter calculations. Former Irish Grand National winner Lord Lariat is probably best watched on his return from a very lengthy absence.

NEXT STOP PARIS is in good hands and looks the type to progress now switched to handicapping. He makes fair appeal in the finale. Doyen Flyer and Southgate Avenue rate the principal dangers.

The unexposed Next Stop Paris is bound to be popular but better value may be hand in CHOSEN DIAMOND with conditions to suit
