2.18 Kinisla Charleville Cheese 3-Y-O Hurdle 2m
Runner-up on all three previous starts over flights, Minella Buoy can make the breakthrough. Despite a very modest mark on the flat, the John Nallen-trained gelding seems a much better horse under this code.
A reproduction of any of his hurdles runs should be good enough to land this contest.
Hello Garda was a shock 40/1 winner at Uttoxeter in July before unseating at the start next time. Although he has to carry a winners penalty in this race, most of that is negated by his rider’s claim.
SELECTION: MINELLA BUOY
Next best: Hello Garda
2.48 Kinisla Cheestrings Irish EBF Mares Hurdle 2m 4f
With the Gavin Cromwell string back in form, it could pay to take a chance with Le Nez Creux. A three-time winner in her native France, the daughter of No Risk At All has had just the two starts over fences for current connections. Reverting to hurdles here could see the five-year-old back in the winner’ enclosure.
Easter Bonnet has to be respected in a first-time tongue tie. Already a dual winner, the Willie Mullins-trained mare is almost certainly capable of better than what she showed at Bellewstown last time. SELECTION: LE NEZ CREUX
Next best: Easter Bonnet
3.18 Kinisla Bloom Feeds Irish EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle 2m 2f 100yd
Radiator Springs could prove well handicapped if ready on her first start since April. Sent off favourite for a highly competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle on that occasion, the Henry de Bromhead-trained mare ran a creditable race. Prior to that, she had finished runner-up in an equally well contested affair at Fairyhouse.
A winner at Sligo on her penultimate start, Speisialta went close in her follow up attempt at Bellewstown last time. Finding only one too good on that occasion, the Anthony John Black-trained six-year-old should again run her race.
SELECTION: RADIATOR SPRINGS
Next best: Speisialta
3.48 Kinisla Dairygold Maiden Hurdle 2m 6f
Galway bumper winner Run Ted Run can make a successful hurdling debut. Sent off a well backed favourite on his introduction, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding landed those odds after a sustained battle with the second. Stepping up in trip here should see the son of Joshua Tree improve further.
Point-to-point winner Game Theatre ran a race full of promise when fourth on his rules debut at Clonmel last time. Another bred to appreciate a test of stamina, the Henry de Bromhead-trained five-year-old holds every chance.
SELECTION: RUN TED RUN
Next best: Game Theatre
4.18 Kinisla Kerrymaid Rated Novice Chase 2m 1f 150yd
Having recorded a first win over fences at Galway earlier this month, Ocastle Des Mottes can follow up. A decent performer over hurdles, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding made all the running to score last time. Similar tactics should suit in a small field around a tight track such as this.
Boasting a similar level of ability to the selection over flights, Sky Lord also made the breakthrough over fences on his most recent start. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding should improve from that confidence booster and won’t be far away.
SELECTION: OCASTLE DES MOTTES
Next best: Sky Lord
4.48 Kinisla Handicap Chase 2m 1f 150yd
Runner-up at Galway last time, Coming Up Easy can go one better. Prominent throughout on that occasion, the Henry de Bromhead gelding only gave best in the closing stages. Entitled to be all the better for that first start since April, the eight-year-old can defy topweight.
Winner of a listed handicap chase at Killarney last time, the Willie Mullins-trained Jalila Moriviere rates the main threat. A consistent sort at this level, the daughter of Joshua Tree looks sure to give her running once again.
SELECTION: COMING UP EASY
Next best: Jalila Moriviere
5.18 Kinisla Farm & Home Store (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race 2m
Having found one too good on each of his bumper starts to date, Green Hint can make it third time lucky. A former point-to-point winner, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding has shown enough since switching to rules to suggest that he is good enough to win in this grade.
Narrowly denied at Galway last time, Sir Vinny boasts strong claims. Also placed on his previous two runs. David Harry Kelly’s gelding is another that looks well capable of landing a bumper success.
SELECTION: GREEN HINT
Next best: Sir Vinny
