RACE VERDICT

Genuine Article will be popular on handicap debut but looks to have plenty of weight on what he’s achieved so preference is for LAN CINNTE whose form looks stronger and is proven on soft. Serious amounts of rain would bring Duke Of Leggagh into the mix, conversely the ground could be going against Malbay Madness. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Joseph O’Brien has found an ideal opportunity for , whose Group 3 seconds behind White Birch and Sprewell put him in a different league to the hurdle and bumper winners in this field. The Last Mardi, third in this last year and a recent maiden hurdle winner, may prove best for the forecast. 148-rated hurdler Winter Fog is the selected odf two who has supplied five of the last winners of this race.

RACE VERDICT

10% bigger Placepot payouts at Tote.ie

Noel Meade’s made an encouraging return to action at the Curragh and is interesting on his form as a dual-purpose performer in 2021. If forgiven a dismal run over hurdles last time is noteworthy for his winning jumps form at this venue. Likewise, No Thanks and Walking On Glass are worth considering as previous winners of this race. Last month’s Fairyhouse winner En Or and consistent maiden Mon Coeur have plentry of weight but couldn’t be safely ruled out. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

RACE 4 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT

It is not easy to assess the rival merits of the Elliott and Mullins runners, but perhaps Danny Gilligan’s 7lb claim will prove crucial on ASH TREE MEADOW, who was short on chasing experience when fourth to Hewick in this event 12 months ago and has warmed up with runs over hurdles and on the Flat. The Elliott squad is notably strong, with Fury Road and The Goffer also capable of big runs. After a thumping win at Punchestown on his handicap debut Kilcruit leads the Mullins team. Outside the two top stables, Final Orders and Enniskerry have solid claims. [Alan Sweetman]

RACE 6 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT

Having readily accounted for a rival who is is now 2-2 over hurdles, in a Listowel bumper, looks the part here to make a winning start over timber, having already won a point-to-point. Tag holds the best hurdles form but will need to settle better to stay this trip, while Arabian Diamond appeals as one to improve now switched to hurdles. The selections stablemates All The Others and Alvaniy are worth noting for future reference. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Thornleigh Frank has gone up 26lb for two wins last month but could improve again now upped in trip, but preference is WE’LLHAVEWAN, whose Ballinrobe win couldn’t have worked out better and is proven over this trip and on soft. Miss Tempo has been waiting for this ground and demands respect, while Ossifer Hops could improve for this step up in trip. [Alan Hewison]
