1.55 Carsena Bloodstock Mares Maiden Hurdle 2m 3f 170yd

With the Henry De Bromhead yard back in good form after a quiet spell, Miss Doyenne can open her account over hurdles. The former point-to-point winner made a bright start to her career under rules when landing a Cork bumper last April. Placed on both subsequent runs over flights, she can put that experience to good use here.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Cool Native was runner-up to Miss Doyenne in a point-to-point, before winning next time. She shaped with promise over hurdles when third at Navan before unseating early last time.

SELECTION: MISS DOYENNE

Next best: Cool Native

2.30 Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle 2m 3f 170yd

A beaten favourite here on St. Patrick’s Day, Pleasureofpressure can make amends. Although yet to get his head in front from 12 attempts, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding has run well on a number of occasions, including when runner-up at Tramore on his penultimate start, and gives the impression of having races in him.

A maiden winner for previous connections, Dairy Force went close for Gordon Elliott when second at Downpatrick last time. Given that that was only his second start for the stable, there is almost certainly improvement to come. Stepping back up in trip here could easily bring about the necessary improvement.

3.05 Fast As Fibrus Broadband Novice Handicap Hurdle 2m 6f

King Gris can complete the hat-trick on what is just his first Irish start for Gordon Elliott. The lightly raced six-year-old showed little on three runs for previous connections but has landed both outings since joining the Meath man. Both of those came in Britain but there is no reason why he can’t continue his progress over here.

Having shown a return to form when winning at Cork on his debut for Eddie Power last month, Stardhem must again hold leading claims. Versatile when it comes to trip and ground, this intermediate distance could prove ideal for the seven-year-old.

SELECTION: KING GRIS

Next best: Stardhem

3.35 Fibrus Says Neigh To Price Hikes Handicap Hurdle 3m

Runner-up on both starts since joining Gordon Elliott, Coppola can make the breakthrough at the third attempt. A lightly-raced mare, stepping up to three-miles here should suit. This looks a nice opportunity for the daughter of Flemensfirth to land a first career victory.

Topweight Cozone should again run well for Matthew and James Smith. A winner at Downpatrick last time, the versatile nine-year-old arrives here in decent form.

SELECTION: COPPOLA

Next best: Cozone

4.07 Giddy Up And Switch To Fibrus Broadband Beginners Chase 2m 4f 88yd

Last seen when finishing mid-division in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham, Sandor Clegane can finally make the breakthrough over fences. A 10-race maiden since switching his attention to chasing, the Paul Nolan-trained gelding has some smart form including placed efforts in graded races. With plenty in his favour now, he can get his head in front.

Only 2lb behind Sandor Clegane on official ratings, the Oliver McKiernan-trained Meet And Greet looks the main threat. Twice successful over hurdles, the gelding has scope for improvement in this discipline.

SELECTION: SANDOR CLEGANE

Next best: Meet And Greet

4.37 Switch To Fibrus Today And Save Handicap Chase 3m 2f 50yd

Previous dual winner Neon Diamond holds every chance on her handicap debut over fences. The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old has always given the impression that she stays well, so stepping up markedly in trip here looks a significant move.

Ladies National winner The Gradual Slope is worth considering despite the quick turnaround. This longer trip should suit the grey much better than at Fairyhouse and, provided that this race doesn’t come too soon, he looks a strong contender.

SELECTION: NEON DIAMOND

Next best: The Gradual Slope

5.07 Fibrus Total Home Wi-Fi Handicap Chase 3m 2f 50yd

Runner-up when sent off favourite at Clonmel last time, Snow Punt can go one better. Having filled a similar position on his previous start at Limerick, the Brendan Walsh-trained gelding arrives here in better form than the majority of rivals. Although yet to win under rules, the former point-to-point winner has been placed on multiple occasions.

A winner at Ayr in February, the Noel Kelly-trained Le Grand Vert is entitled to be involved. Far from disgraced when fourth at Sedgefield after, the 10-year-old is a proven stayer who handles most types of ground. Having said that, any rain that falls would certainly add to his chances.

SELECTION: SNOW PUNT

Next best: Le Grand Vert
