CLASSICAL CREEK has smart form and represents a yard that targets this meeting. A 10-length winner of a point-to-point and successful on his bumper debut, he also finished third in a Listed bumper here last December. He hasn't raced since and was withdrawn lame from Graded races in February and April, but will be ready for his reappearance. Fillyoureye, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Colreevy, won a bumper in the spring but although open to progression over jumps, that Kilbeggan form isn't outstanding and he might struggle to beat the selection. The Store Boy has shown ability, while Agameoftwohalves is out of a triple bumper winner.
Point and bumper winner CLASSICAL CREEK was far from disgraced at Listed level last time and should be up to making a winning hurdling debut here. His latest run took a boost at Cheltenham in the spring and he can account for the more experienced The Store Boy here. That rivals sets the standard on hurdles form and should appreciate this longer trip. He can fill the places with Fillyoureye whose debut bumper form is working out well and should have more to offer over hurdles for top connections.
Landed a handicap by 3 1/2l off 103 over 2m at Fairyhouse on her penultimate start. Travelled well and was closing when falling late in the Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) last time. Progressive at 2m on yielding and good ground and may stay a bit further.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good and yielding ground. Fell 2 out when 20-1 in the Group 2 Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham over 2m (good to soft) in a Grade 2 hurdle race won by Fortune De Mer last month on her latest outing.

WATCHING THE CLOCK is a progressive four-year-old who should be suited by reverting to this distance. Her initial form was unexciting but having scored on soft ground at Gowran last month, she subsequently finished well for fourth at Punchestown. She can continue to progress and the extra half-mile will help. Similarly, Paul's Dream steps up in trip, having been in contention when falling at the second-last in Cheltenham. She could well improve at this distance, but is unproven on heavy ground. Killinure Lass wasn't disgraced at Thurles when attempting to follow up on her earlier Tramore success and must enter calculations from an unchanged mark.
PAUL'S DREAM was running a huge race when coming down at Graded level last time and looks thrown in back in a handicap off an unchanged mark. He has his stamina to prove at a stiff track but if it holds up he can defy top weight at the expense of the inconsistent Clonbury Bridge. The veteran is well treated on his recent chase win and will be suited by the stiff track along with the softer ground down in trip. The consistent Club Manager came clear with an in form rival last time and should also be on the premises if in the same form here.
Scored by 2 1/2l off a mark of 118 here three starts back and ran to form when fourth beaten 8 1/2l off 125 last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and remains on a good mark based on flat form.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on ground varying from good to yielding, also won a flat race in June. Finished 9l behind Lieber Nicc when fourth of 12 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Down Royal over 2m 1f (yielding) earlier this month.

COLONIA VICTORIA is useful and should compete from her 118 rating. Placed fourth at Group 3 level on the Flat in Italy in 2023, she scored over hurdles at Cork back in April, beating a now 119-rated runner-up, while the third also scored subsequently. She conceded weight to the winner at Wexford recently and has form on soft ground. Lambay Island was heavily supported when finishing a close enough third on his return at Thurles. That form is unexciting, but he met race-fit rivals on lively ground and can progress. Scalpnagoon's last two starts were disappointing, but he had previously shown ability and it is encouraging that Jack Kennedy rides on his reappearance.
Maiden winner COLONIA VICTORIA was given too much to do last time but still showed improved form and looks well treated now tackling handicaps. Her victory came over further so she should relish the stiff finish here and can account for fellow mare Kate Knows Best who was progressive until her latest run where she was let down by her jumping at key stages. In form Ragmans Corner is also respected if turned out quickly off top weight with the form of her recent C&D victory franked.

ACE BRANNIGAN looked capable in winning last month and remains unexposed. Well related, he finished a close second on point-to-point debut last December and, at Tipperary, defeated last weekend's Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle winner Letos comfortably. He has form on soft ground and is suited by this distance. Capable but keen, I'll Sort That was under pressure when left clear at the last in Galway and although 4lb worse off with Ma Jacks Hill, can confirm the form if he settles better. It is a negative that Theflyingking is his trainer's apparent second string because he is closely matched with I'll Sort That on bumper form and was unlucky last time at Down Royal.
ACE BRANNIGAN justified strong support first time out over hurdles and the more experienced runner up that day has boosted the form in a hot handicap since. Henry De Bromhead's gelding should appreciate this stiffer track and the classy type could follow up. Theflyingking looks his stable's second string on jockey bookings but he was running a big race when coming down on debut and he could make amends here. He looks the biggest threat ahead of Whimsy who sets the standard on form but is vulnerable to a less exposed rival.

Gordon Elliott's THE YELLOW CLAY is two from two over hurdles at this venue and his proven ability on testing ground will be a real asset to him. Although he would prefer a sounder surface, he powered clear on heavy ground to land a Grade 3 at this festival last year. Jetara is race-fit from the Flat and has a couple of placed efforts in Grade 1 company at Aintree and Punchestown to call upon. She has the assistance of Paul Townend and is a big player. Elliott's Maxxum is only rated 3lb inferior to The Yellow Clay and is a winner at Grade 2 level over flights around here. He is more than capable of a big run from the front.
THE YELLOW CLAY was a Grade 1 winner over 2 1/2m as a novice at a similar track before holding his form well in defeat and is chosen to take this step into open company in his stride. Though he must give weight away he sets the standard on ratings so can account for stablemate Maxxum who will enjoy conditions and will be a big danger if allowed to dictate. Classy mare Jetara has proven herself consistent at the top level so is also respected down in grade though she may find this a sharp enough test on her return.
A four-time Grade 1 winner who travelled well, was short of room, and ran to form when winning the Champion Chase at Punchestown by 7l on quick ground last time; Champion Chase winner sets form standard but shoulders big weight and may ideally want quicker ground.

DINOBLUE returns to action in search of a four-timer and has an enviable strike-rate over fences. She ploughs through attritional ground and can pick up where she left off last term. Found A Fifty had to dig deep to repel Solness in this event 12 months ago and will appreciate the drop in distance after coming up short as favourite in the 3m Champion Chase at Down Royal. Captain Guinness won this race in 2022 and 2023 so shouldn't be underestimated.
Champion Chase winner Marine Nationale is likely to prove popular on his reappearance and with good reason given he sets the standard on ratings. However all of his best form has come on spring ground and he may struggle to defy a big weight in testing conditions on his return. Fellow Grade 1 winner DINOBLUE gets 11lb from the likely favourite and was in career best form when last seen in the spring. The stiff track will suit down in trip and she can get the better of another former Champion Chase winner in Captain Guinness. He took this contest in 2023 and bounced back to form last time after a spell in the doldrums.

KOPEK DES BORDES makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences and is hard to get away from. He is a dual Grade 1 winner over flights, including in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival, and is the ante-post favourite for the Arkle in March following positive updates on his schooling over fences. Jump Allen has acquitted himself well over timber and is proven over further, while the lightly-raced Lovely Hurling and the returning Harvard Guy add more spice to the mix.
Supreme winner KOPEK DES BORDES should have too much class for his rivals on his chase debut. He has 16lb in hand on his rivals on ratings and is open to further improvement in this sphere. Bumper and hurdle winner Lovely Hurling goes chasing quickly for a yard where horses often improve for the switch to fences. The same can be said of Its Bilbo's stable and the pair have proven themselves on testing ground so look the biggest threats to a strong selection.
Showed greenness on debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Punchestown. Drops in grade which should help, though he still has plenty to prove.
Full brother to Registration, won at 7f. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Bud Fox when 15th of 24 on his racecourse debut at Punchestown over 2m 1f (good - yielding) in April.

LEMMY CAUTION's homework has been good according to a recent stable tour and this point-to-point winner is fancied to make a successful transition to the racecourse for Gordon Elliott. Jet To Monte Carlo looks a significant threat as he cruised to victory by a wide margin in a Ballynoe point-to-point in March before switching to Emmet Mullins' yard. Leonard Vallis attracted support ahead of his debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last month and there was promise in his runner-up finish. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Springs Steen is well worth a market check, while Le Roi Du Livet was narrowly denied in a bumper at Tramore last month.
LEONARD VALLIS sets the standard on the ratings following a promising debut over hurdles behind a more experienced rival. If she can translate that to this discipline she can get the better of Jet To Monte Carlo who represents shrewd connections on his rules debut following a bumper win. Le Roi Du Livet was only narrowly denied last time and if handling the easier ground should also be on the premises.
