2.15 Race Displays Joseph O’Reilly Hunters Chase 3m 1f 15yd

Ryehill can resume his progress, provided he is over his Cheltenham exertions. Ross O’Sullivan’s gelding had looked a leading contender for the Foxhunters after an impressive win at Naas on his penultimate start.

However, having struggled in the initial stages of the festival race, he was never really involved.

The gelding arguably did quite well to finish mid-division at the finish given how things panned out.

Big Interest looked a horse to follow when winning at Down Royal over Christmas, but he has failed to build on that in three subsequent runs. However, it is far too early to write off the David Christie-trained gelding.

SELECTION: RYEHILL

Next best: Big Interest

2.50 BoyleSports Mares’ Handicap Chase (Listed) 2m 5f 40yd

The locally-trained Mousey Brown has almost certainly been laid out for this race. Dermot McLoughlin’s eight-year-old, who won over hurdles at the corresponding meeting last Easter, remains well-treated over fences.

Following her sixth placed finish at Navan towards the end of last month, she should be spot on here.

Top weight La Malmason holds strong claims despite having to concede weight all round. Gavin Cromwell’s mare was quite impressive when carrying a welter burden to success at this track in December.

SELECTION: MOUSEY BROWN

Next best: La Malmason

3.25 Fred Kenny Memorial Ladies’ National Handicap Chase 2m 5f 40yd

Far from disgraced in the Topham at Aintree last time, Dreal Deal can make his class count.

A former Grade 2 winner over hurdles, the 10-year-old never quite reached those same heights over fences but is a capable chaser on his day. He will certainly lack for nothing in the saddle with his pilot, Emily Claire Costello, well up to the task.

Last year’s winner, So Des Flos, has failed to win subsequently, but as a result, he can now race off an identical mark as 12 months ago.

Charlotte Butler, who was in the saddle for his most recent success, renews acquaintances once again.

SELECTION: DREAL DEAL

Next best: So Des Flos

4.00 Tom Quinlan Electrical Maiden Hurdle 2m 4f

The Gordon Elliott-trained Kainsbourg looks to have been found a nice opportunity to open his account over hurdles. A dual winner in his native France, the five-year-old has twice filled the runner-up spot from four starts since arriving in this country.

In a race where most of the opposition look relatively exposed, the gelding can shed his maiden status.

SELECTION: KAINSBOURG

4.30 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Handicap Hurdle Series Final (Listed) 2m 7f 141yd

In a wide open affair, the Stuart Crawford-trained Ayiko could represent some each-way value. Runner-up in a maiden hurdle at this track in December, he is weighted to reverse form with the winner.

Having struck at Ayr on his next outing in January, it could be significant that connections have resisted the temptation to race subsequently.

Recent Tramore maiden hurdle winner Fairyland Opera takes a step up in grade but could be of interest.

A strong traveller, the mare will enjoy being buried in amongst runners and arriving with her challenge from off the pace.

SELECTION: AYIKO

Next best: Fairyland Opera

5.05 RYBO Handicap Hurdle (Listed) 2m

Grand Annual winner Jazzy Matty looks very well-handicapped reverting to hurdles. The Cian Collins-trained gelding is now rated 142 over fences following his Cheltenham Festival success. However, the former Boodles Juvenile Hurdle winner can race off a 17lb lower mark in this sphere. With Danny Gilligan doing the steering, he is difficult to get away from. Helvic Dream, a 98-rated flat horse, will love the hustle and bustle of this big field handicap. Confidence in the Noel Meade-trained eight-year-old would increase with each drop of rain that falls.

SELECTION: JAZZY MATTY

Next best: Helvic Dream

5.35 Hire2K Irish EBF Mares INH Flat Race 2m 4f

Hello Jean, a half-sister to a four-time winner, can register a first success. Narrowly denied when a close-up third on her racecourse debut last month, the Willie Mullins-trained mare should have learned plenty from that experience. She can give jockey Jody Townend another valuable winner on her quest for the Ladies’ amateur title.

Lou And Shaz has plenty of racing experience which should stand to her against less exposed opposition. The Gavin Cromwell-trained mare is going the right way, having finished runner-up at Cork on her latest start.

SELECTION: HELLO JEAN

Next best: Lou And Shaz
