KIBRIS holds a mark of 89 on the Flat and transitioned to flights with a runner-up berth at Cork. He should have a future in this discipline and is taken to go one better. Crooked Path finished second at Gowran Park before finishing fourth behind the selection last time which entitles him to get into the mix. Whats New has shown ability over hurdles, but ran out when last seen in this sphere at Gowran Park three weeks ago. In The Minus has enough form to suggest that he is likely to be competitive once again.
1m flat winner KIBRIS showed signs of greenness on his hurdling debut but if brushing up on his jumping he should be tough to beat. His flat form suggests the easier ground will be no issue so he can defeat the quirky Whats New who didn't get far last time. His previous runner up effort has been franked though so he looks the main danger along with the in form Crooked Path.
Ran to form when second, beaten 2l in an auction hurdle at Listowel last time. A 2m bumper winner whose point form suggests he may stay further over hurdles; beaten by a useful sort on debut and should have more to come.

He got to within two lengths of the odds-on favourite who had previously finished second in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Mullaghgloss landed a bumper at this track and is one to note ahead of his jumping bow, while the well-related Fatal Flaw is returning from a long absence but is more than capable of a good run. Campbell Black was backed off the boards ahead of his debut at Downpatrick and finished well off the winner in third. It will be interesting to see if the same support arrives. Walking In Mayo, who hacked up in a point-to-point in March, is another for a market check.
This could be a match race between Fatal Flaw and L' EVANGELISTE. The former is respected on his bumper win and runner up debut effort over hurdles but he may just struggle to overcome a long absence here. The latter was successful in bumpers and points before chasing home a potentially classy rival on his hurdles bow last time. The easier ground is unlikely to be an issue and if building on that initial effort he can go a place better. Bumper winner Mullaghgloss is expected to fill the places on his first start in this sphere.
Green and made mistakes when well beaten in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel Hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time; hard to recommend.
A winner of a NH flat race at 1m 7f on good to soft ground. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Kaid D'authie when eighth of 10 on his hurdling debut at Punchestown over 2m 3f (yielding) in April. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with N J Henderson.

SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY has some strong bumper form in the book ahead of his hurdling debut. He was impressive in winning a Listed bumper at Limerick last year and was also third in the Champion Bumper at this year's Cheltenham Festival. King's Bucks landed a decent point-to-point at Ballindenisk in December last year and is of interest. He has been out once since then when runner-up in a Gowran Park bumper in March, but could come into his own jumping flights. Barry Connell's Eachtotheirown showed his talent in posting a couple of runner-up berths in bumpers, while Firebrand, Centreofattention and Treasure Memory will have their supporters.
Already successful at Listed level SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY ran a huge race when placed in the Champion Bumper in the spring so should have too much class for this field if his jumping and fitness hold up on his hurdling debut. Dual purpose performer Firebrand boasts plenty of experience in this sphere and looks the obvious danger on the ratings though his recent hurdles efforts have taken some knocks. Eachtotheirown placed in both bumper runs over the winter and that form took a big boost at Graded level so he may throw down the biggest challenge back from a break on his hurdles debut.
Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last time and has a bit to find on chase debut despite recent rain being a plus.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 5f on soft and heavy ground. Pulled up 2 out when 40-1 at Fairyhouse over 2m 4f (soft) in a hurdle race won by Barry Lyndon in February on his latest outing.

WATERFORD WHISPERS and Will The Wise are both rated 130 and hold strong claims, with preference for the former. He has a second place in a beginners' chase at Navan behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner in the book and should be all the sharper from a seasonal reappearance fourth at Listowel. Will The Wise is a significant threat after just being collared in the closing stages over C&D this month. He has won a point-to-point, a bumper and two hurdle races. Pure Steel is a point-to-point winner who is sent over fences after landing a maiden hurdle at Cork in January, while Come Walk With Me and Prends Garde A Toi are chasing debutants with plenty of hurdle form.
WATERFORD WHISPERS was highly tried last term and shaped with plenty of promise back from a lay off last time finishing well under tender handling having been hampered by a faller. His strong handicap hurdle form suggests he should have more to offer in this sphere so he can account for Prends Garde A Toi here. That rival was probably a bit flattered by his Graded run over hurdles but he did produce a solid effort in a good handicap last time and should have more to offer over fences. Will The Wise was only narrowly denied over C&D last time by a race fit rival so holds obvious claims as well though the suspicion is he may do better in handicaps over further.
Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Fairyhouse last time; wears a tongue-tie for the first time and likes to race prominently; inconsistent and mark looks stiff back over hurdles.
He has won two hurdle races, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m 1f to 3m on ground varying from soft to heavy. Pulled up 5 out when 20-1 at Fairyhouse over 3m 1f (soft - heavy) in a chase won by Battle It Out in April on his latest outing. Having his first run for a new stable today.

SPORTINTHEPARK could be on a nice mark back over hurdles on his seasonal debut. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was impressive around here when winning a rated novice chase on this card last year. He wasn't disgraced in a Grade 2 subsequently and a mark of 120 could be lenient in this sphere. Grann's Boy arrives in fine form and has to be respected. He has won three of his last four and was unlucky here on the other outing, getting a bump early and also making a mistake which knocked him back. Rue Taylor showed improvement when winning at Wexford and is another to consider.
MAKE GOOD may not be quite the force of old but he won't need to be anywhere near his previous Grade 2 winning form to take this. He hasn't been seen in this discipline for a long time but he has been in excellent form on the flat of late and looks thrown in on his form in both codes. The conditions are in his favour to get the better of the lightly raced Rue Taylor who overcame trouble to land a novice last time and looks to have been given a generous opening mark. She will need a stiff test to show her best down in trip unlike Grann's Boy who has been thriving in both codes for some time. He should be on the premises if his stamina holds up over the extra distance.
Outpaced and improved up in trip on ground quicker than ideal when down the field in a beginners' chase over 2m7f here most recently. Usually held up and returning from a short break; needs soft ground and staying trips. Interesting at a price off reduced mark at favoured venue.

GERRYS WISH ran a big race when stepped up in trip at Perth last month and looks capable of taking a prize of this standard off her current mark. The El Salvador filly lost out by a neck in a tight three-way finish and still looks relatively unexposed. Johnny Cakes was in good form when last seen and might be a danger on his return. He got going a bit too late in Kilbeggan in April and is only 1lb higher now. The well-bred Love Bite gained an important win at Tipperary earlier this month and could be competitive again, despite a 6lb rise.
An open race where a number can be given a chance. Gerrys Wish is likely to prove popular after a narrow defeat in the UK to a progressive rival last time. She should be on the premises but she could be vulnerable to a better treated rival. GRACE FARADAY returned to form when runner up last time and the way she finished off the race suggested a step back up to 3m would be of benefit. She races off her sole winning mark and proved herself versatile ground wise last autumn so holds obvious claims. Of those at bigger prices top weight Shotgun Jack makes some small appeal having returned to form over fences last time. He is potentially well treated back over hurdles on that run and much of his best form has come at this venue with plenty of give in the ground.
Green and made mistakes when showing promise on hurdling debut, beaten 8 1/4l in an auction hurdle at Listowel on debut. Effective at 2m and should improve for that initial experience with hurdles removed.
Dam unraced. Finished 9l behind Heads Up when fifth of 11 at 40-1 on his racecourse debut at Listowel over 2m (good - yielding) last month.

The Protectionist gelding was prominent throughout and a touch green late on when hanging left in the straight. He had a couple of today's rivals behind and should improve from the experience. Jet Renegade ran well in third, but probably doesn't have as much improvement in him. Poet's Gale ran nicely in fifth that day and may be able to play a bigger part now. Leonard Vallis, runner-up over hurdles on his debut at Gowran just over three weeks ago, is another who has to come into calculations.
Though LEONARD VALLIS lacks any bumper experience he did chase home a more experienced rival over hurdles on his sole rules start and a repeat of that would be enough here. The rating he achieved that day gives him 9lb in hand on his nearest rival Burning Ability who also ran well over hurdles last time despite showing signs of greenness. With the obstacles removed he should improve and can fight for a place with Zeus Power who sets the standard on bumper form following a debut runner up effort here.
