MANGE TOUT is already prominent in the betting for the Triumph Hurdle following a 15-length rout of the opposition on her racecourse bow at Compiegne in May. A half-sister to multiple Grade 1 winner Impaire Et Passe, she is expected to be a warm order on her first appearance for Gordon Elliott. Wizard Of Odds won at Cork last month and is likely to step forward from that effort, while Bibe Mus is respected following his hurdling debut success at Gowran.
MANGE TOUT created a fine impression when bolting up on debut in France and, now with Gordon Elliott’s team that has an excellent record in this race, looks a smart juvenile with plenty of upside, so is easily the one to beat here. Wizard Of Odds shaped well when making a successful start over hurdles at Cork and should be suited by this slightly longer trip, making him a clear danger. Bibe Mus showed determination to get off the mark at Gowran Park and remains open to progress, though he faces a much tougher assignment here.
Modest debut over hurdles when well beaten in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Sligo on his only start; should be effective from 2m to 2m4f though the drop in trip may not suit.
Half-brother to Welonlyhavedone, won in a point to point race at 3m and over hurdles at 2m 1f. Finished 17l behind Insouciant Dallier when fifth of 9 at 10-1 on his racecourse debut at Sligo over 2m 4f (good - yielding) last month.

Gordon Elliott has won five of the last six renewals and KALYPSO'CHANCE is difficult to oppose. He wasn't disgraced when sent off favourite for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March, having landed a Listed contest at Navan before that, and will likely prove a cut above today's opposition if taking to hurdling. Stablemate and newcomer Sept Etoiles is one to note for the future, but the improving Stepdance may prove the main danger to the selection.
KALYPSO'CHANCE represents the Gordon Elliott yard that has dominated this race in recent years and, despite finishing well held in Grade 1 bumper company at Punchestown, sets a clear standard now switching to hurdles. Stepdance took a good step forward for Henry De Bromhead on her second hurdles start at Thurles and looks capable of further progress in this sphere. Lips Freedom, a Listed winner on the Flat in France, has yet to show his best since joining his new yard but could outrun big odds if translating that earlier ability to hurdles.
Winner of two Grade 1 races; well held off a tough opening mark when finishing down the field in a 2m handicap at Naas last time. The pick on balance of form.
Winner of five NH flat races at 2m on ground varying from good to yielding, but last win was over two years ago, also won a flat race in June. Well beaten at 9-4 when fourth of 14 on his latest NH outing in a maiden hurdle race at Naas over 2m 3f (soft - heavy) in January.

Whinney Hill, who was pitched into Grade 1 events on his last two starts, and A Dream To Share, the winner of the 2023 championship bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown, bring a touch of class and look set to play strong roles. However, ROAD EXILE is a useful prospect now he switches to hurdles and, based on potential, he could be the pick of a strong hand played by Gordon Elliott. Others with each-way chances include Blake, Kevlar and O'Reilly.
A DREAM TO SHARE looked like the next big thing when winning two Grade 1 bumpers earlier in his career, but it wasn't really worked out that way. The JP McManus gelding struggled on a tough opening mark in a recent two mile flat handicap at Naas, but on balance of form remains the one to beat returning to hurdles. Blake, from Noel Meade’s yard that has enjoyed recent success in this race, was promoted to first after finishing second in a 12f flat handicap at Leopardstown and previously ran well in a maiden hurdle at Cork. He represents good value. O’Reilly finished second in a two mile maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time, wears a hood for the first time, and with form over this trip on both soft and good ground, should remain competitive in this field.
Ran to form when third, beaten 11l, in the Grade 2 O'Driscoll's Irish Whiskey Juvenile Hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse on testing ground that may not have suited. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; likely has more to come.

A relatively unexposed sort for leading connections, NASTYA impressed when getting off the mark over fences at Killarney last month and a mark of 114 on her handicap debut could underestimate her ability. The six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the more experienced Clonbury Bridge, who returned to winning ways with a taking performance at Fairyhouse last month, for which he has been raised 5lb. Two lengths behind him on that occasion was the consistent Midnight Moonshine (third), who is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as Brucejack and Ceanndana.
NASTYA made mistakes but ran to form when winning a beginners’ chase at Killarney over 2m7f by over two lengths last time. Tongue-tie applied first time and progressive, effective at this trip on decent ground. Brucejack comes from a yard that won this last year. He fell in a handicap chase over 3m4f at Leopardstown last time but is effective from 2½m to 3½m, handles any ground, and is consistent though still a maiden over fences. Le Grand Vert made too much use of the pace and was comfortably held in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time, but remains well treated on old form and may prefer some ease in the ground.
The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. Finished second, beaten 4 1/4l, in the PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Gowran Park last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, best at 3m; more to come over fences now he's over his issues.

Envoi Allen won this in 2022 before regaining his crown 12 months ago and the classy 11-year-old merits the utmost respect. However, dual Grade 1 winner SPILLANE'S TOWER looks the most viable alternative. He was no match for Galopin Des Champs in the Punchestown Gold Cup when last seen, but the progressive seven-year-old doesn't face as tall an order today and, if official ratings are taken at face value, he ought to go close. Improving Galway Plate hero Western Fold and his stablemate Found A Fifty complete the shortlist.
ENVOI ALLEN is a nine-time Grade 1 winner who took this race in 2022 and 2024. Ran to form but was no match for a younger classy winner when a distant third in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time. He still sets the standard on balance of form, particularly fresh. Western Fold is one of three runners for Gordon Elliott, a yard that has won two of the last five renewals. He won the Grade 2 PWC Champion Chase over 2m4f at Gowran Park by a cosy four lengths last time. Hugely progressive over this sort of trip, franked form, and looks ready for the top level. Found A Fifty, another of Elliott’s runners, is a dual Grade 1 winner. He was keen but improved back up in trip to win the Grade 2 Jack McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase over 2m4f by just under a length last time. He's Jack Kennedy's pick, and a consistent performer, though stamina over this longer trip remains to be proven.
Winner of two Grade 1s; the yard has taken this race for the last three years. Needed the run when 16l third in the BetVictor Chase (Grade 3) over 2m7f at Punchestown last time. Likes to race prominently and is effective from 2½–3m; should improve for that reappearance.
Winner of two hurdle races, three chases and a point-to-point from 2m 1f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to soft - heavy.

FIREFOX couldn't get his head in front after making a winning debut over fences at this meeting 12 months ago, but he ran well in defeat plenty of times. That includes a close third to the reopposing Croke Park in the Drinmore and he is 10lb better off with that rival here. The seven-year-old is heavily favoured at these weights and he should be capable of taking advantage. Gorgeous Tom could also reverse the Drinmore form with Croke Park and pose the biggest threat to the selection.
Gordon Elliott has won the last three renewals of this race, and his trio could well dominate this Grade 2 over 2m4f. FIREFOX sets the standard after a big effort in the WillowWarm Gold Cup and looks the one to beat, especially with Jack Kennedy back on board. Croke Park is another dual Grade 1 winner who should improve for his recent reappearance and is likely to race prominently. Speculatrix also makes the frame, having impressed at Listed level at Chepstow last time and continuing her progress over fences. All three warrant respect in a race that could see Elliott fill the first three places.

Showed improvement on debut when beaten 8l in an auction bumper over 2m at Thurles last time. Effective at 2m and likely to progress further once tackling hurdles.
Yet to place in three starts. Finished 8l behind The First Turn when fifth of 10 at 11-1 on his latest outing in a NH flat race at Thurles over 2m (good) last month.

Yet to show any real ability and returns from a short break. Hard to recommend at present.
Unplaced in both starts over hurdles. Pulled up at the last when 66-1 at Sligo over 2m 5f (good) in a maiden hurdle race won by Lord Ffrench in August on his latest outing.
Yet to show any real ability and returns from a short break. Hard to recommend at present.

Yard won this last year; recorded a good 10l win in a 3m maiden at Liscarroll on debut and looks a likely contender again.

Gordon Elliott has won nine of the last 10 renewals and can strike again, with his expensive point-to-point recruits WITH NOLIMIT and Ballyfad standing out as the most plausible contenders. The latter was a visually impressive winner on the Fairyhouse point-to-point course in April and must be taken seriously. However, the former's 10-length romp in a similar event at Liscarroll is hard to ignore and he shades it as the pick of the Gigginstown Stud-owned pair. The fellow point winner, Dubhain, is another to keep a close eye on.
WITH NOLIMIT won his only point-to-point at Liscarroll with conviction and went for £250,000 in the Aintree sales, so sets the standard for Gordon Elliott, who this race last year, and looks the one to beat. Chichester Park is an obvious danger, having won a PTP and shaped well on debut and showing both speed and promise when third from 50/1. Ballyfad is an interesting newcomer for Elliott and Gigginstown, a point-winning €175,000 Tirwanako gelding, and could feature if taking to the track first time under rules.
