MUTADARREJ was in good form on the Flat in Britain last summer and, after a spell hurdling, returns to this sphere on a mark 7lb higher than when scoring at Bath in August. His fitness has to be taken on trust but he might have a little bit of improvement left in the tank. Bondage remains feasibly treated on the pick of his Flat efforts (won off 3lb lower at Leicester last term) and will strip fitter for a recent hurdles outing at Killarney. Dream Champion completes the shortlist.
Few of these have any secrets from the handicapper but with Pat Flynn's horses starting to hit form it may pay to side with Binocular who was successful on his only previous visit to this track. Mutadarrej, Striking Force and Articilitis are others to consider, whilst Lucky Spring and Ghareer would both be of interest if getting a run.

Adiynara continues to disappoint and is starting to look exposed so it could pay to side with JOUSTER, who showed up well on his debut when third at Killarney earlier in the month and can be considered a little unlucky having met trouble in running that day. With the benefit of the experience behind him and this extra yardage looking ideal, Andrew Oliver's charge gets the vote. Jim Bolger's newcomer Faiseanta is one to monitor in the betting this evening and completes the shortlist.
Adiynara is the best of those with previous form but Fierce Cry wouldn't need to be anything special to open his account at the first time of asking. Jouster can get placed again.

MALAYAN MIST opened her account at the first time of asking over this trip in a Gowran maiden at the start of the month and is expected to improve for that experience to notch a double here. Deire Na Sli is exposed but considered now returned to a more suitable trip, having found 6f very much on the sharp side at Cork last month. Crystal Belle has a bit to find with the principals at the weights but is admirably consistent and may be capable of grabbing some minor money.
Crystal Belle, Deire Na Sli and Malayan Mist are the three to concentrate on here with the vote going to the last named who won in the style of a useful prospect on debut.

GLENSTAR has been outpaced over 2m the last twice and gets the vote now returned to 2m4f, although it is a very tentative call and Up Ou That is expected to give him plenty to think about. The latter failed to stay 3m at Punchestown last month and had previously finished behind the selection over 2m Ballinrobe, when well held in third but looking in need of this intermediate trip. Loch Long returned to form when second in a Tipperary maiden last time and is also considered.
Glenstar finished 11 lengths in front of Up Ou That in a 2m contest at this track last month but may struggle to confirm that form at this longer trip. Loch Long is best of the rest.

MAGICAL MEMOIR hinted his turn was near when runner-up at Punchestown earlier in the month and is expected to give a good account racing over 2m again. Priors Gold opened his account at Kilbeggan last time and is unlikely to be far away if running to a similar level of form on this slower surface (has run well on heavy ground previously). City Line arrives here on the back of a career-best effort over hurdles at Killarney, when beaten by under a length by the reopposing Scottish Boogie in maiden company. Chances are given to both.
Magical Memoir ran a cracker to finish second to Street Entertainer at the Punchestown Festival last time and can gain her second win over hurdles at the main expense of the progressive Scottish Boogie. The quirky Priors Gold is capable of getting placed again.

A penalty may not be enough to prevent UNCLE TAFFY following up his recent victory at Cork and Tony Martin's charge gets the vote while his well-being is assured. Benefitthewest posted a career-best when scoring over this trip at Sligo last time and shouldn't be far away if reproducing that effort on slower ground here. Tian Shan is entitled to improve now tackling easier ground and there is undoubtedly more to come from him in handicap company.
Uncle Taffy won with a bit up his sleeve at Cork on Friday night and can follow up under a mandatory 5 lb penalty. The other last-time-out winner in the field, Benefitthewest, may give the selection most to do, whilst Paintmaker and Ikansea both have place claims.

It is unlikely we have seen the best of BLACK EMPRESS yet. While she needs to improve upon previous efforts to figure, Willie Mullins' mare is a tentative choice in an open looking bumper. Fantastic Gold posted her best effort yet when third at Kilbeggan last month and, if running to a similar level of form here, shouldn't be far away. Moncherie ran well from the front at Wexford last time and, if keeping a little more in reserve for the finish today, can also go close.
Black Empress is going the right way and may be able to improve past the likes of Glibin and Fleur de Nuit. Eviegrace is the most interesting of the newcomers.
