Only 1 pound splits Final Demand and WESTERN FOLD in the Novices Chase. Western Fold has been on a mega rise to the top and is the top earner over fences in Ireland this season. It will be a very competitive race where we have the main man Jack Kennedy in the saddle.

In the next Grade 1 contest we have BALLYFAD and KOKTAIL BRUT. Ballyfad has done all that has been asked of him so far and steps up to the highest task, again this will be hard won and will be ridden by Jack Kennedy. Koktail Brut has a top rating in this where he’ll be ridden by Danny Gilligan.

It’s a tight field for the Dublin Chase where we have the ever reliable FOUND A FIFTY. He ran another credible race at Leopardstown over Christmas and has every right to line up here with Jack Kennedy in the saddle.

There is huge prizemoney up for grabs in the Grade 3 O’Driscolls handicap chase where we have CROKE PARK, DEE CAPO and PRENDS GARDE A TOI. This will be Croke Park’s first time in a handicap having been a Grade 1 winner over fences last season. He has plenty of weight but we claim off him with Josh Williamson taking 5lbs. Dee Capo had an unlucky unseat the last day but looks like he is going in the right direction and will have Jack Kennedy in the saddle. Prends Garde a toi has first time cheekpiece had could run a big race with Danny booked to ride.

We’re two horses strong in the WP Mullins vs G Elliott Champion hurdle. BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD was back to her best the last day and proved she still has it. She is now race fit and has Jack Kennedy in the saddle.

BOWENSONFIRE delivered the goods the last day at Christmas but went up 8lbs for that. This will be a very stiff task and has Jack Kennedy on his back.

Finally in the mares bumper which is a Grade 2 we have the very exciting and expensive DAWN OF LIGHT. This will be her first run for us and she has a beautiful pedigree as she is a half sister to Bravemansgame so time will be of benefit to her.
