TOUCH THE MOON, rated 90 on the Flat in Britain, had Royal Approval well behind when he was touched off by a useful type on hurdling debut at Navan. He travelled strongly on that occasion and can go one better for a yard that has made a bright start to the season. Talk The Talk was second in a valuable bumper at Newbury in March and has since moved to Joseph O'Brien. Splendid Fellow showed ability in a point-to-point and has since joined a powerful yard, while Starting Fifteen, who sports a first-time hood for his debut over flights, has some strong bumper form in the book. The 112-rated Louiescall probably has place claims at best.
Not the strongest maiden contest on paper, this could be a good opportunity for TOUCH THE MOON to get off the mark over hurdles at the 2nd attempt. The three-time flat winner was a decent 2nd on hurdle debut at Navan back in September, jumping right on occasions but running on well when headed in the closing stages and only being beaten by a short head in the end. He would have learnt plenty from that, and the William Durkan horse can make it 2nd time lucky over hurdles by landing this contest. Royal Approval ran well to an extent on his hurdle debut in the same contest as Touch The Moon; sent off 5/1 in the market, he ran well but just weakened in the closing stages to come 6th. That was his first run in a good few months; therefore, he is expected to come on for the run and put in a better display in this contest. And Louiescall has run 5 times over hurdles, coming 2nd last time out in a similar contest; he will no doubt run well here but might have to settle for another place finish.
Yet to show any sign of ability, having shown nothing in a bumper or on hurdle debut.
Unplaced in both NH starts. Pulled up 2 out when 150-1 at Tipperary over 2m 4f (good - yielding) in a maiden hurdle race won by Watchful Protector earlier this month on his hurdling debut.

BRIDGE VIEW STAR is a half-brother to progressive staying handicapper Rising Dust and is likely to appreciate stepping up to this trip. He was never in contention in a similar contest at Galway but stayed on close home, before running with credit in a bumper at Listowel, a race which is working out well. He looks a major player in what is a weak contest. We Be Grand has run well in two bumpers and stuck to his task when not beaten far at Listowel recently. He should also be suited by this longer distance but does lack the experience of some of his rivals. A couple of winners have come out of the Ballinrobe maiden in which Run For The Border finished seventh and she has place claims.
Two runs under rules for BRIDGE VIEW STAR, who has produced the highest racing post rating out of all the runners who have run previously, a 6th on racecourse debut in a maiden hurdle at Galway, and he then went on to come 6th again, this time in a bumper contest at Listowel later on in the month. With the experience now under his belt, and this being a much weaker contest on paper, he can put that experience to good use and get off the mark at the 3rd attempt in his career. We Be Grand has also run twice previously, coming 5th on both occasions in bumper contests; he does make his hurdle debut here in what is a winnable contest. His run last time out was a good one, and if he takes to hurdles quickly, he could land a big blow in this race. And Mistyburn was a point winner back in May, with two runs in bumper contests recently; he makes his hurdle debut here in a contest that he should be running well in.

FEET OF A DANCER was third to the classy Jetara in last year's renewal and doesn't face a rival of that calibre this time around. Paul Nolan's mare ran with credit in four subsequent starts last season, including when fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham, and she is weighted to go close on these terms. Nolan is also represented by Farfromnowhere and it is noteworthy that the selection's usual rider, Sean O'Keeffe, has elected to partner this dual course winner. World Of Fortunes returned to form at Ballinrobe latest and the dual Listed scorer was impressive when winning at this meeting 12 months ago. Thisistheway was progressive last season and reverts to hurdles following a recent spin on the Flat.
Four-time hurdle winner FEET OF A DANCER does not come into this race off the back of a victory like a few of these but has been running well in a good standard of race previously. A 4th place finish in the Pertemps Final at the Festival back in March, she then went on to come 3rd in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse on her last run of last season, only finishing a length and a half behind the winner and finishing a further length clear of the 4th place finisher. She does have a 180-day break to overcomethis, but she has some very good form from last season and could have a very productive season at this sort of level. World Of Fortunes has a pretty healthy strike rate in this sort of company; a winner of a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last time out means she is fit and ready to go here. A big run is expected, and she can continue her progression in this. And Farfromnowhere also won a handicap hurdle last time out, with fitness on her side as well. She can utilise that here in this contest but might have to settle with a place finish.

BALLYKINLAR rattled off a hat-trick over the summer and acquitted himself well in novice company when third at Listowel recently, a race which has been well advertised since. The selection's regular rider can't claim his allowance this time around but he still meets Carrigg Island, who was a length-and-a-half behind him at Listowel, on 1lb better terms. The latter is gradually learning to settle and ought to remain competitive, while stablemate Shadow Paddy was one of six winners for Eoin McCarthy at the Listowel Harvest Festival and might have more to offer.
BALLYKINLAR has bags of experience over hurdles and comes into this contest in pretty decent form after landing the handicap/novice hurdle hat trick in July and August, before placing in a few decent races since then. The 3rd last time out in what looks to be a decent novice hurdle contest, Kainsbourg was the winner, who has since come 2nd in the Grade 2 Persian War, and Strong Link, who was 2nd, looks to be a nice type for Ross O'Sullivan for the season ahead. That was a contest similar to this, and this step up in class should pose no threats, as he looks to be the best horse in the race on paper. Ephesus was a winner on the flat last time out, last seen coming 10th in a handicap hurdle at Listowel when last over obstacles; coming back into novice company will suit him, and he is sure to run a good race in this. And Carrigg Island is a lightly raced sort and therefore could improve past most of these; a winner on debut in a maiden hurdle back in April, he has since run well in some good novice contests and can continue to do so here in this.

Race conditions ought to suit QUINT MAJOR, who is capable of landing a handicap of this standard. Mark Molloy's seven-year-old has fair form in the book under both codes, and he ran with credit in a maiden hurdle here last Christmas. His third at Clonmel in April was promising and he may have needed the run when disappointing at Navan last month. Weston probably wants softer ground but is well treated in this sphere relative to his Flat mark. His third to a well-handicapped winner on his latest hurdles start at Fairyhouse was a good effort. Farrokh is consistent but needs to improve for the addition of first-time blinkers, while Arthur's Victory ran well despite being hampered by a faller at Punchestown on Tuesday.
Draw a line through PAHLAVI's effort from last time, as he was too keen and did get a bit short of room at a crucial stage of the race; therefore, he was unable to get on terms with them that day. A winner of a handicap at Downpatrick back in August, he has since placed at Fontwell off a higher mark and is now just 4 lbs higher than his last winning effort. He is the sort that needs everything to fall right for him; therefore, he does need a bit of luck in running, but he is the sort that can win; therefore, he can be expected to bounce back to form here in this. Quint Major is yet to win over hurdles but has crept down a few pounds since his opening handicap hurdle mark; therefore, he could be sliding towards an attractive mark, and one that he looks like he can utilise very soon. He can run well here but might have to settle for a place finish once again. And Farrokh came 4th of 16 at Fairyhouse last time out; he ran well to an extent and can continue the good form shown previously and run well in this contest, one similar to last time out.
Did plenty early and finished lame when fourth, beaten 17l, in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Roscommon last time. Effective at 3m and, despite a modest strike rate, remains competitive off a lenient mark.

Mark Molloy has a chance with Quint Major in the previous contest and he could be worth following again, as RHYTHMIC TUNE has been shaping like a step up to this trip will suit. He kept on nicely over 2m on handicap debut and stuck to his task well when third over an extended 2m2f at Cork last time. This trip might unlock a bit more improvement from the lightly-raced six-year-old. Gaelic Des Chastys won over fences at Listowel recently and now reverts to the smaller obstacles from 16lb lower than his new chase mark. Hurricane Honey won easily when last seen over timber in August and arrives here in good form.
GAELIC DES CHASTYS comes into this race off the back of a short-head victory at Listowel last time out when running over fences; now back over the smaller obstacles here, he is now rated 15 lbs lower over hurdles than he is over fences. Coming into this contest in winning form, he can utilise that here and land his 2nd career win over hurdles after a great display last time out. Betty Dutton has only registered 1 win in 24 over hurdles; she comes back over the smaller obstacles in this after a good few runs over fences when placing on multiple occasions. She runs off the same mark over hurdles as she does over fences, and with the change-up in sphere, she could bounce back to some sort of form here and land a place. And Mr Erwitt is a very lightly raced sort with just 4 runs under his belt over hurdles; running off a low mark here, he could go well and land a place before kicking on with more experience under his belt.
Ran to form when winning a bumper at Tramore by 1/2l last time after a short break; effective over 2m on good ground but faces a tougher task up in grade.

AMINA could be the answer. John McConnell's charge has been placed in both of her bumpers and her latest effort, which came here in April, has been well franked. John Gleeson is a notable booking. Blue Bresil filly Samba Train didn't fire at Listowel last month, but that was her first run following a break and she has some solid form in the book. Ill Raise A Glass showed improvement to get off the mark at Cork in March and there may be more to come from her. Tumbling In stayed on for fourth on debut at Listowel and is no back number, along with Tramore winner Alaskan View.
SAMBA TRAIN has plenty of bumper experience to her name; she has run 3 times in this sphere, winning once at Listowel back in May when sent off as the 9/4 market leader. Slightly disappointing next time out when coming 6th of 9 runners at the same venue in September; that was her first run for a few months, therefore it will set her up nicely fitness-wise for this. Already a winner at this level, she can make it 2 wins in 4 appearances in bumpers by landing this contest. Tumbling In came 4th on her racecourse debut at Listowel back in September; although beaten by 11 lengths or so in the end, she still ran with plenty of credit, and this looks a slightly easier contest on paper. She could have learnt plenty from that experience and is sure to back that up with a good run here in this. And Voladora Nora has the benefit of two runs in bumpers previously, a decent 3rd on her last start; she can build on those two decent efforts and run well in this, although she might have to settle with filling the places once again.
