Verdict: Ballinrobe second Bridezilla rates a major player if handling this softer ground, but preference is for hurdles debutant WACKESTONE, who handled soft ground well on the Flat when last seen and is rated 17lb superior to the former on Flat ratings. Gforcejenny is respected on hurdles debut too. [Alan Hewison]

5/6

Comment: Won a barrier trial last summer and easily best of three runs under rules when staying on third in decent 1m2f Navan maiden in April (soft) for which he gained an 80 rating; absence since a slight concern but entitled to major respect on hurdles debut with ground to suit.

13/8

Comment: Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions.

Verdict: This can go the way of KORINTHIA who looked like a nice prospect after winning her first two starts in bumpers last season and she's the type to kick-on now going over hurdles. Youre A Derry Girl is starting to look like she's capable in this sort of company and looks like the main threat despite a drop in distance. Two each-way contenders are Boujee and Crossbar Getaway who have both shown ability. [Phill Anderson]

Comment: In terrific form and looking to complete a four-timer, following wins last month within a week at Wexford, here (2m6f) and at Tramore, all on decent ground; up an aggregate of 23lb but won so well at Tramore that he could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Verdict: It's hard to rule any of these out with a chance taken on FORTUNATE LIGHTING who got firmly back on track when stepped up in trip at Sligo last time out, form that is working out okay and there should be more to come at this distance. Carried With Love is an obvious threat given she handles this ground and expect Cooke's Lass to bounce back at her preferred sort of trip. Tequila Talkin' is another live contender with the form of her Wexford success working out okay. [Phill Anderson]

Verdict: After a first chase success last time out, MY FRIEND THE WIND is taken to follow up. He may have won that race by further without a late mistake so a 5lb rise could be on the lenient side. My Good Pal was about to have a say before an unseat on chase debut 18 days ago and could be the main threat. Zolpharine should remain competitive back over the larger obstacles having probably found the ground quick last time and his stablemate, The Little Yank caught the eye over timber a week ago.

Comment: Eyecatching effort over timber at Kilbeggan last week when making up ground from rear; just as effective over fences despite the strike-rate suggesting otherwise and he's won over timber at this venue; ought to go well.

Verdict: Having been well backed for his chase debut last time out, METAMORPHEUS could be the way to go. He was in the process of running a big race before coming down and he ought to go well again with conditions in his favour. Veteran Itsalonglongroad has to be on the shortlist despite a 3lb rise after his gutsy all-the-way win at Tramore last month and another last time out winner, Finnians Row, is considered after his career best at Wexford recently.

16/1

Comment: 11-race maiden; encouraging debut over fences at Tipperary in July but seems to have lost his way since; tailed off in four-runner C&D beginners' latest; stiff looking mark.

22/1

Comment: Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran.

Comment: Seven-race maiden but arrives on the back over a career best second of 10 in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last month; would need to be even better over fences to defy this mark on chase debut.

Verdict: The victory of BLUE WATERS (nap) here last month was well franked by the impressive win of the runner-up at Galway on Monday, and she gets the vote over the Willie Mullins'-trained debutante Cast A Cold Eye, a half-sister to last season's Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever. Famous Figure and Governors Rock hold place claims but more interesting could be the debutant Ade Boy, whose trainer Andy Slattery has a strong team of bumper horses. [Alan Hewison]

Blue Waters

Jockey: Mr J H Williamson Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 4/11-3 F: 41

1/1

Comment: Dam a 2m3f hurdle winner with a decent pedigree; encouraging Kilbeggan debut last month before much improved later in month to score over C&D, second having since won well at Galway on Monday; major player.

Cast A Cold Eye

Jockey: Miss J Townend Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 4/10-10

9/2

Comment: Yeats filly is half-sister to this year's Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever; dam unraced half-sister to winners My Wigwam Or Yours (useful 2m4f hurdle) and Midnight Gift (bumper and 2m3f/3m hurdle); headgear combination for debut not a great sign but major respect from top yard.

Governors Rock

Jockey: Mr D Doyle Trainer: Mark Fahey Age/Wt: 4/11-10 F: 81

6/1

Comment: Built on middling bumper debut at Bellewstown in early July to win at Wexford later in month, always close up in ordinary affair (good); left Peter Flood and debuts for new yard here.

Comment: Outran huge odds on Punchestown debut at the festival in April, green and hampered in his run when beaten under 10l eighth of 24 (good-to-yielding); absent since but one to consider.

Lilannbee

Jockey: Mr M N Sharpe Trainer: Stephen Gerard Carey Age/Wt: 4/10-10

10/1

Comment: Order Of St George filly cost 25,000GBP as a 3yo; half-sister to winners Mill House Creek (bumper) and Classical Creek (point/bumper); dam unraced half-sister to winners Hammersly Lake (1m7f-3m hurdle/high-class chase) and Almazhar Garde (useful 2m3f-2m7f chase); debutante likely best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

Takiwatanga

Jockey: Conor Clarke Trainer: Emmet Mullins Age/Wt: 4/11-3

12/1

Comment: Magna Grecia 4yo cost 10,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to four winners inc Lime And Lemon (1m2f; RPR 83) and Black Hawk Eagle (1m5f Flat, 1m7f/2m hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to Oaks winner Forever Together; tongue-tied on debut and nicely-bred sort has to worth a watch in the market.

Whoyougonnacall

Jockey: Mr D McGill Trainer: John Patrick Ryan Age/Wt: 4/11-3

18/1

Comment: Jet Away half-brother to 2m4f chase winner Speedalong; dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m/1m4f Flat winner and high-class 2m chaser Lake Kariba; yard does well here and market possibly good guide on debut.

Voladora Nora

Jockey: Mr J P Murray Trainer: John Andrew Kinsella Age/Wt: 4/10-10

33/1

Comment: Postponed filly cost 2,000euros as a yearling; second foal; half-sister to 6f AW 2yo winner Expeditious (RPR 72); dam French 1m1f AW 2yo winner (78), half-sister to 7f-1m1f Group 2 winner Promising Run; tongue-tied for debut, probably best watched.

Ade Boy

Jockey: Mr A P Ryan Trainer: Andrew Slattery Age/Wt: 4/11-3

Comment: Bullet Train 4yo is fifth foal of an unraced half-sister to bumper/high-class 2m hurdle/chase winner Accordion Etoile and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner French Accordion; yard has good team of bumper horses so market support on debut likely significant.
