Bronn (Daryl Jacob) goes for the three runner beginners chase over 2m 5f. He was second to Gerri Colombe over this course and distance last time and a repetition of that form should be good enough to go one better today.
We have two runners in the Grade 3 Mares Novice Hurdle over 2m 2f. Saylavee (Rachael Blackmore) is improving but has to shoulder a penalty for winning at Punchestown last time and that might prove to be too much. Ashroe Diamond (Danny) is better suited by the race conditions and this represents a drop in class for her. We expect her to run very well. It is a tight contest but hopefully one of ours manages to do the job.
Parmenion (Bryan Cooper) runs in the 2 mile maiden hurdle. His first run for us at Leopardstown over Christmas was very good and that experience will stand to him today. He should improve and hopefully he might lose his maiden tag here.
I Am Rocco (Brian Hayes) goes for the 2m 4f maiden hurdle. Brian changed tactics with him at Clonmel last time and he ran much better. If he can get a similar tune out of him today he could get into the frame.
