Willie Mullins looks set for another profitable day at Cork on Saturday with several leading chances on the card.

Ruby Walsh has just one ride at the meeting when he gets the leg up on French import Chateau Conti in the McCarthy Insurance Group Maiden Hurdle.

The five-year-old, who carries the same colours as Un De Sceaux, won two bumpers in his native land and is likely to be a warm order on his Irish debut.

Patrick Mullins, assistant to his father, said: "Chateau Conti is a very nice horse who has been doing good work at home. We're excited to get him out and hopefully he can do the business."

Hardline, who fell when upsides Riven Light at the last at Thurles last month, would appear the best of those with hurdles form and looks the main threat.

The three-mile maiden hurdle under the same sponsorship seems at the mercy of another Mullins inmate in Bon Papa, who made a big impression when taking a bumper at Fairyhouse on his debut last month.

That form has been boosted with the second winning since, and the JP McManus-owned Bon Papa looks set to go off a short price for his jumping debut.

"I think the owner was keen to go jumping," said Mullins. "His form has worked out well, with the runner-up winning a bumper since.

"He's a beautiful horse who has plenty of size about him and he could be quite exciting. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't keep his unblemished record intact."

Barry Geraghty takes the mount on Bon Papa and teams up with the champion trainer once more as Blazer carries the same colours in the two and a half mile beginners chase.

The French-bred chased home A Genie In Abottle at Fairyhouse last month and connections will be hoping he can go one better.

The six-year-old finished a close fourth in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham last year and looks to have the ability to make a smart sort over fences.

He won't get things all his own way and General Principle, who has been placed on both outings over fences to date, looks an obvious threat.

Mullins said: "He has been a little disappointing over fences so far. Hopefully he can jump better and start fo fulfil the potential he showed over hurdles. Coming back in trip might help him."

Joseph O'Brien introduces a fascinating newcomer in the concluding bumper in the shape of Westerner gelding West Coast Time. The five-year-old, owned by Michael Tabor, is out of top racemare Refinement.

She won the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown for Jonjo O'Neill and also proved top-class over hurdles, winning the Champion Stayers Hurdle at the Kildare venue.
