TOMBSTONE is very well treated at these weights and could prove a tough nut to crack now dropping out of Graded company. Oscars Den doesn't have many miles on the clock for an 11-year-old and ran right up to his best when winning at Navan two weeks ago. He rates the biggest threat ahead of Count Simon, a stablemate of the selection who has been knocking on the door.
TOMBSTONE ran no sort of a race in the Irish Champion Hurdle here last month, but this represents a significant drop in class and he should prove a tough nut to crack. Stablemate Count Simon looks up against it at the weights and Oscars Den will finds this tougher than when landing a Navan handicap a fortnight ago, which leaves Three Stars as the most viable option for forecast purposes.
Placed in a hurdle race from two starts. Third of 18 behind Curious Times beaten 27l at 40-1 on his hurdling debut at Down Royal over 2m 1f (yielding) in January.

Licklighter has some solid placed efforts to his name and can show up well again in a first-time hood, but preference is for the less exposed THE RED MENACE. The dual bumper scorer ran a blinder on his latest start over timber at Punchestown, finishing third behind subsequent Dublin Racing Festival winner and current Martin Pipe favourite Dallas Des Pictons, and a similar level of performance will make him tough to beat. Timber House looks next best.
LICKLIGHTER has had more opportunities than his six rivals, but he's shown enough to suggest that a race of this nature should be within his grasp. Denis Hogan's charge is marginally preferred to The Red Menace, who was third behind the useful Dallas Des Pictons at Punchestown last time. Timber House should build on his promising recent Rules debut and is best of the rest.
Has won six hurdle races and three chases from 2m to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to yielding. A winner at 7-1 in a hurdle race at Thurles over 2m (good) on his latest outing in January, beating Ask Nile by 7l.

MING DYNASTY ran out a comfortable winner over this trip at Naas last week and despite a 9lb rise, he is fancied to edge out The King Of Brega, who has won on three of his last four visits to the racecourse. Kuiper Belt returns from a well deserved break and is respected, while Navan faller Silver Star and Curley Bill, who returns to the NH scene following 212 days on the sidelines, are others to note.
A useful middle-distance performer on the Flat, MING DYNASTY did the job well when opening his account in this sphere at Naas last weekend and, though 9 lb higher now, he is taken to follow up. The King of Brega made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Thurles in January and is a much-respected main danger. Silver Star is the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained duo and should be in the mix.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on soft - heavy ground, but that win was over two years ago. Unseated rider when 7-2 at Fairyhouse over 2m 1f (good - yielding) in a chase won by Graineyhill last month on his latest outing.

Carter Mckay looked as though he might be something special in his younger days, but he hasn't shown a great deal in three starts over fences so far and could be worth taking on. AINT DUNNE YET was extremely unlucky when hampered and unseating Sean Flanagan at the last obstacle at Fairyhouse recently (getting the better of the argument at the time) and could prove difficult to beat with normal luck. Chasing newcomer Mastermind can outgun Motcomb Street for third spot.
CARTER MCKAY hasn't troubled the judge in 3 starts in this sphere, but he quickly made up into a useful hurdler last term and remains open to considerable improvement as a chaser. The main danger is Aint Dunne Yet, who probably would've won but for unseating at the final fence at Fairyhouse last weekend when returning from a lengthy layoff. Mastermind needs to improve for the switch to fences.
He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m 2f to 2m 4f on soft ground. Third of 4 behind Real Steel beaten 13l at 7-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Thurles over 2m 2f (good) last month.

DAKOTA MOIRETTE was in the process of running a huge race when a last-fence faller (hampering Aint Dunne Yet, who runs in the previous contest) at Fairyhouse recently and, providing that nasty experience hasn't dented his confidence, he looks sure to go close. In the same colours, Monatomic warrants respect following his runner-up effort at Naas, and Jett and Teacher's Pet add further spice to the event.
Though MONATOMIC has been passed over by Jack Kennedy in favour of stablemate Dakota Moirette, he produced a career-best effort in a strong Naas handicap last weekend and will take some stopping if at least matching that form. Dakota Moirette is accorded plenty of respect, but he needs to brush up on his jumping and Ask Nile, who has performed with credit the last twice, is feared most.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 1m 7f to 2m 7f on good and soft ground. Well beaten at 14-1 behind Cresus De Grissay when fourth of 10 on his latest outing in a chase at Down Royal over 3m (yielding) in January.

THE CHURCH GATE impressively notched a Fairyhouse/course double over hurdles at the back end of 2018 and he makes plenty of appeal switching to fences off a mark 6lb lower than his revised timber rating. Witness Of Fashion won this last year and only found one too good at Fairyhouse most recently, while School Lane wouldn't be without a chance if putting his best foot forward.
The most appealing of these by some way is THE CHURCH GATE, who landed a couple of big-field handicap hurdles earlier in the season and looks well-treated back in this sphere following a break. Witness of Fashion is 1 lb lower than when winning this race 12 months ago and is next on the list following a solid effort at Fairyhouse. School Lane and Shanklys Dawn both make each-way appeal.
Full brother to Minnie Dahill, won over hurdles at 2m and on the flat at 2m 1f.

Those with experience only set a moderate standard but there are a number of interesting newcomers on show. A market move for either Soviet Pimpernel or Dewcup would be worth noting, but SIXSHOOTER gets the vote hailing from a yard that boasts a 21% strike-rate with bumper runners this season. He is certainly bred for the job as a full-brother to She's A Star, who was successful in this sphere for Noel Meade.
Given that those with experience haven't shown much, the newcomers are likely to dominate and DEWCUP could be the pick of the trio in question. He boasts a decent jumps pedigree and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant. Sixshooter is also appealing on paper and may be next best ahead of Soviet Pimpernel.
