Today will be a real test as the rain has continued to fall with the going described only as heavy.

FABHCUN go in the opening maiden hurdle. Dunleer Crystal is a non-runner. Fabhcun is starting off his career here and will have to be tough in these conditions with Jordan booked to ride.

In the opportunity handicap hurdle we have KASANOVAS DREAM who will have first time blinkers on. He has been a bit unlucky in his runs so far but has good form and will be ridden by Josh Williamson who has now turned professional and claims 2lbs here.

In the Galmoy hurdle we have GERRI COLOMBE returning to his hurdling roots. It was a big ask for him to return at Grade 1 level over fences in Leopardstown the last day. He has first time cheekpieces and should have some improvement here but the ground is a worry. STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT just keeps going and should slog his way through this but anything could happen in these conditions, Danny Gilligan has been booked to ride.

THE WALLPARK goes in the 2m4f beginners chase where he is the pick of Mark Walsh. He hasn’t set the world alight just yet over fences and may be better suited to handicaps in time.

The Thyestes looks another very good renewal where we have 4 runners and a reserve. PIED PIPER has managed to come down the weights a nice bit now but the ground will be a major worry but we claim off him with Kevin Healy taking off 7lbs. SEARCH FOR GLORY has been solid in these sorts of races and is the pick of Jack Kennedy. SHECOULDBEANYTHING has run crackers in these sorts of races but again the ground is a concern and we have Carl Millar in the saddle. WILL DO is a proper character for these long distance handicaps and could be the pick of the bunch with Josh Williamson booked and claiming 5lbs. Beaufort Scale didn’t get in.

It is a really small field for the bumper where we have two runners HYGGE who has placed twice so far has some really nice form and could be the one to beat with Josh Halford claiming 7lbs. HUNTIN BOOTS is a very well bred individual who could go well on debut here and has Harry Swan booked to ride.
