1:55 RACING 13TH MARCH MAIDEN HURDLE 2M

The Jessica Harrington-trained Unyielding looks to be the one to beat. The son of Oasis Dream is rated 76 on the flat and made an encouraging hurdling debut at Naas earlier this month, finishing third to Babbling Stream. He seems sure to improve from that experience and that form sets the standard in this contest. The main danger to him looks to be the Johnny Feane-trained Azamesse, with the daughter of Azamour having run well in both her starts over hurdles to date.

Selection: UNYIELDING

Next Best: Azamesse

2:30 NOBBER MAIDEN HURDLE 2M

Without question, the most interesting runner in this race and perhaps on the whole card is the Gordon Elliott-trained General Principle. The seven-year-old looked a potential star in winning a point-to-point at Kirkistown and a bumper at Punchestown last season, prior to finishing in mid-division in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. He rates as an exciting jumping prospect and should prove very tough to beat in this. Of his rivals, the Tony Martin-trained Tayto Park shaped quite well on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last time and can be expected to improve enough to be competitive in this.

Selection: GENERAL PRINCIPLE

Next Best: Tayto Park

3:00 GARLOW CROSS HANDICAP HURDLE 2M 4F

This is fiercely competitive and the Edward Cawley-trained Nobody Home is given the nod. The six-year-old has only had six runs over hurdles and produced his best effort yet when a never-nearer second to Coolaghknock Glebe in a novices’ handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. He is likely to improve again from that and should run very well. Of his rivals, the Shane Walsh-trained Lisclogher Lad ran well at Navan last time and should be on the premises once again.

Selection: NOBODY HOME

Next Best: Lisclogher Lad

3:30 FOLLOW NAVAN ON FACEBOOK BEGINNERS CHASE 2M 4F

This maiden chase at a relatively late stage of the season and it presents a good opportunity to the David McGrath-trained Goulane Chosen to get off the mark over fences. The seven-year-old has acquired plenty of experience over fences and acquitted himself well when finishing second on his handicap chase debut at Clonmel last time. A reproduction of that effort could well be enough to see him home in front in this. The Eddie Hales-trained On Fiddlers Green is actually officially rated 5lb ahead of the selection, but his two most recent efforts were well below form.

Selection: GOULANE CHOSEN

Next Best: On Fiddlers Green

4:05 CHARLIE LOWRY MEMORIAL HANDICAP CHASE 2M 1F

Preference is given to the Denis Hogan-trained Eiri Na Casca. The seven-year-old has proven to be progressive in handicap chases to date and was likely to have gone close but for falling at the final fence on his latest outing at Leopardstown. This is a weaker contest than that and he can be expected to make a bold bid. He may well have the most to fear from the Shark Hanlon-trained Refused A Name, with the nine-year-old having run well on his latest outing at Thurles.

Selection: EIRI NA CASCA

Next Best: Refused A Name

4:40 NEWGRANGE VETERANS HANDICAP CHASE 3M

A handicap chase confined to the elders of the game and the one that makes most appeal is the Colin McBratney-trained Organisedconfusion. The 11-year-old most famously won the Irish Grand National in 2011 and while he hasn’t won since, he is just 2lb lower than the mark he won it off. His recent efforts over hurdles have been quite encouraging and it wouldn’t surprise to see him run well on his return to chasing. Another that makes appeal is the Patrick Rooney-trained Witness Of Fashion, who comes into this contest in fine form.

Selection: ORGANISEDCONFUSION

Next Best: Witness Of Fashion

5:15 ATHBOY (PRO/AM) FLAT RACE 2M

An intriguing contest to bring the curtain down on the card and the Gordon Elliott-trained The Storyteller is selected to prevail. The five-year-old made a very encouraging debut when second to his stable mate, Cogryhill, in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal, just being let down by his inexperience at the latter end of proceedings. He seems sure to improve from that and could well have enough pace to compete on his first start in a bumper over this shorter trip. The obvious alternative is the Willie Mullins-trained Bel Sas, with the five-year-old having finished a promising second on his only start in a point-to-point at Glenbane in November.

Selection: THE STORYTELLER

Next Best: Bel Sas
