DELTA WORK is a high-class recruit to cross country racing and looks the heir apparent to Tiger Roll for connections in this sphere after beating that equine legend at Cheltenham in March. The multiple Grade 1 winning chaser went on to finish a highly creditable third to Noble Yeats in the Randox Grand National. Freewheelin Dylan was well behind the selection when seventh at Aintree and hopefully the former Irish Grand National winner can be reinvigorated by this discipline. Midnight Maestro has the advantage of previous experience over these unique banks and won over C&D in February but disappointed at Cheltenham. Enda Bolger also saddles Champagne Platinum, a useful staying handicap chaser who is sure to be well schooled over the banks.
DELTA WORK was last seen coming in a fine third in Aintree's Grand National and Gordon Elliott's high-class chaser looks to have been found an excellent opportuntiy to kickstart this season with a win being very much favoured by these weights. C&D winner Brahma Bull looks the one to give him most to do on form, with Champagne Platinum appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
Unplaced in both starts over hurdles. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Cougar when 13th of 16 on his latest NH outing in a maiden hurdle race at Gowran Park over 2m (good - yielding) last month.

GOOD HEAVENS is a smart recruit from the Flat. The Zoffany gelding easily beat Impero in a mile maiden at Leopardstown last backend and having won again this year at Cork, was just denied by stablemate Federal in the Irish Cambridgeshire. Riding arrangements suggest he is preferred over the owner's Sundial who showed plenty of stamina when winning a Navan maiden for Ballydoyle last month. Impero made a pleasing start over hurdles when runner-up to the Joseph O'Brien-trained Common Practice at Galway with Calico and Gig Harbor not too far behind. Curragh maiden winner Nusret together with Mister Wilson and Morning Soldier are other hurdle newcomers to consider.
GOOD HEAVENS has shown useful form on the Flat and should take the beating if he takes to hurdling at the first attempt. His stablemate Nusret ranks as a danger and Impero is the pick of those with experience in this discipline.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to heavy. Unseated rider when 40-1 at Limerick over 3m (soft) in a chase won by The Big Dog last month on his latest outing.

MAJAVANGO has taken well to fences this year and after being placed twice at Downpatrick, won in decisive fashion over this trip at Tramore last month. The Tom Gibney-trained gelding was moving up to challenge when falling two out at Naas last weekend and hopefully is none the worse for that experience. Friendly Star won twice over fences in France and made a really promising start for new connections over hurdles at Galway last month. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market on this occasion, while there isn't much to choose between Farceur Du Large and It Could Be You on running in a similar event at Galway last month. Fakiera and Dunboyne both stay well over hurdles but have yet to show the same ability over fences and now try handicap company.
SECRET SHE KEEPS was very impressive when off the mark over fences at Thurles a month ago and might well have been let in lightly off a mark of 119, so she makes most appeal. Fakiera is a potential improver now blinkered for his handicap debut and Majavango isn't without hope given he was shaping well before falling last time.
He has won a hurdle race, a chase and a point-to-point from 2m 3f to 3m on good and good - yielding ground. A winner at 6-4 in a chase at Fairyhouse over 2m 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Secret She Keeps by a nose.

MINELLA CROONER has always been held in high regard by connections and the point-to-point winner is an exciting recruit to fences. He beat all bar Minella Cocooner in the 2m6f Grade 1 novice hurdle at Leopardstown last season and ran too bad to be true on his only subsequent start here at the Festival meeting. Thedevilscoachman is the pick of these over hurdles having won the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan last term. He reverted back to fences to score at Galway last month but hasn't totally convinced yet with his jumping over the bigger obstacles. Noel Meade also saddles Idas Boy who made a winning start over fences at Cork last month and went close subsequently at the same venue in a Grade 3 behind El Barra with Panda Boy well behind in fourth.
Noel Meade looks to hold a strong hand in this Grade 2 chase and his THEDVILSCOACHMAN is fancied to build on his ready Galway success and edge out stable-companion Idas Boy who shaped very well when runner-up at Cork earlier in the month. Gordon Elliott has an excellent record in this event and his chasing newcomer Minella Crooner needs considering too along with Fairyhouse-winner Amirite.
He has won three hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 1f on ground varying from good to yielding. Won on his latest NH outing in a Grade 3 hurdle race when 7-4jt-fav in the Group 3 Horse Effernock Fizz Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tipperary over 2m (good - yielding) last month, beating & by 4 1/2l.

Willie Mullins has dominated this race over the past decade and STATE MAN gets the vote to beat stablemate Sharjah who won this Grade 1 event for the second time 12 months ago. The selection is firmly in the could be anything bracket having justified strong support in decisive fashion despite minimal experience in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. He backed that up over 2m3f here the following month with a smooth Grade 1 success from Flame Bearer. Sharjah has been a tremendous servant for connections winning six Grade 1's plus a Galway Hurdle. He reappears after an 11-month absence but has run well fresh in the past. Saldier is also a former winner of this race plus the Galway Hurdle but lost his way over a variety of trips last winter. Teahupoo won the Red Mills Hurdle in fine style at Gowran earlier this year but was well beaten twice since behind Honeysuckle, while Jesse Evans has a lot on his plate but at least won't lack for fitness.
Willie Mullins has farmed this Grade 1 event in recent years and his highly exciting and fast improving STATE MAN is fancied to announce himself at hurdling's top table by making a winning return here. Stable-companion Sharjah is already a dual scorer in this event so can't be taken lightly, with Teahupoo appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
A winner of a point-to-point at 3m. Pulled up 2 out when 9-2 at Naas over 2m (soft) in a maiden hurdle race won by Goven in February on his hurdling debut.

SEABANK BISTRO looked a useful sort when scoring on debut at Naas and confirmed that impression when fourth to stablemate Facile Vega in the Cheltenham Festival bumper. He was probably gone over the top when disappointing here subsequently but remains an exciting prospect for hurdles this season. Point-to-point winner Monbeg Park stayed well when landing a bumper in Cork at Easter and again showed stamina is his strong suit when runner-up to Affordale Fury on his hurdle debut over 2m6f at Galway last month. Riding arrangements suggest Will Do, who stayed on well on his only point start last spring, is the pick of Gordon Elliott's three runners while Silver King and Top Speed are others to consider.
Willie Mullins' SEABANK BISTRO came home a fine fourth behind stablemate Facile Vega in Cheltenham's Champion Bumper and is fancied to become another winner to emerge from that contest now he starts out over hurdles. Monbeg Park holds the clear edge of those with experience in this sphere and is next on the list, although other newcomers Top Speed and Will Do bring plenty of potential and can't be dismissed.
Winner of a hurdle race, a NH flat race, two chases and a point-to-point from 2m 2f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to heavy. Well beaten at 12-1 when sixth of 40 on his latest outing in a Grade 3 chase in the Group 3 Randox Grand National Handicap Chase at Aintree over 4m 2f (good to soft) in April.

CAPTAIN CONBY won twice here over 2m4f last season and was thought good enough to go for a Grade 1 novice at Aintree when a faller two out behind Three Stripe Life. The Dusty Sheehy-trained gelding made a pleasing reappearance when second to Eric Bloodaxe at Fairyhouse and appears reasonably treated on his first handicap start with this step up in trip likely to suit. Coventry has been placed on both starts over similar trips since joining Gordon Elliott and should be nearing peak fitness, while others for the shortlist include the Cian Collins-trained pair Robinstown and Sassy Yet Classy. The latter won this race last year for Elliott. It will be interesting to see if there is any market support for Thyestes Chase winner Longhouse Poet on his reappearance.
Sassy Yet Classy won this contest last year under the tutelage of Gordon Elliot and this year the County Meath-based handler can land the prize with COVENTRY, who shaped well when placed a couple of times last month. Longhouse Poet was unable see out the marathon trip in the Grand National when last seen in April but he's fancied to be in the mix on returning over timber. Floueur and Robinstown are another couple who could have a say in proceedings.

LECKY WATSON divided two stablemates when runner-up on his only start in a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse this spring. The selection didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on that occasion and the fourth gives the form some substance having previously won at Thurles. Cato Capone made mistakes at the final two fences when runner-up to Encanto Bruno on his only point-to-point start at Ballynoe in March and was sold for £180,000 at Aintree the following month. That form has been well boosted since by the winner who has won both bumper starts for John McConnell including at Cheltenham last month. The remainder with form have plenty to find so newcomers Bective Bridge and I'm For Home should hold place prospects.
CATO CAPONE's second in a point has been boosted under Rules since and this exciting prospect takes preference over Lecky Watson, who showed plenty to work on when second at Fairyhouse on debut 7 months ago. I'm For Home looks the pick of the remainder, but it's likely to develop into a match.
