11.35 Colm Quinn BMW Risk Of Thunder Chase 3m

Enda Bolger aims to win this race for the eighth time in 11 years. Solitary Man has the best of form of his trio, but must bounce back from a disappointing run in the Kerry National. Stablemate Stealthy Tom usually improves for the run.

Coko Beach, who unseated last month in the Velka Pardubicka, won over the banks course here in February, before placing in the La Touche Cup. Stumptown is another course winner, but has taken a few runs to peak the last two seasons.

La Touche runner-up Three By Two should also be considered, and has less of a break to overcome. Vanillier has a chance if back to his best, while Bodhisattva and Fameftertheglory shouldn’t be dismissed.

SELECTION: COKO BEACH

Next best: Solitary Man

12.05 I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle 2m5f163y

Flemensface sold for £100,000 after hispoint-to-point and bumper wins, but was returned after testing positive for clenbuterol after his first win. He is perhaps best watched after a 14-month ban.

A significant absence is also the concern for Jerisk Star, who was purchased privately by J.P. McManus after his debut third in a Gowran bumper, and Mark Walsh has selected impressive debut winner Son Of Anarchy as his mount.

Jack Kennedy partners well-bred stablemate Masterboy Davis, who disappointed in bumpers, but the point graduate should be seen to better effect over obstacles. Jockey bookings highlight Argento Boy, a winning half-brother to Briar Hill, as the best of Mullins’ pair.

Four-year-old maiden winners Springt De La Mare and The Big Westerner are other potentially smart prospects here.

SELECTION: SON OF ANARCHY

Next best: Argento Boy

12.40 Listed Frontline Security Grabel Mares Hurdle 2m2f

Talented dual-purpose mare Lot Of Joy made an impressive return to hurdling last month. The extra two furlongs and forecast rain shouldn’t be a problem, considering previous placed efforts.

Feet Of A Dancer’s most recent effort was also notable, having finished third in a listed mares’ hurdle won by Grade 1 performer Jetara. Riviere D’Etel finished another three lengths further back that day, putting her firmly in the mix.

SELECTION: LOT OF JOY

Next best: Feet Of A Dancer

1.15 Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle 3m24y

Shadow Rider was progressive at the end of last season, but two and half miles seemed to be his limit trip-wise, while it’s the ground that goes against Talk In The Park. Macs Charm was on an upward curve over hurdles, before contesting some blacktype chases, but he has a tendency to improve through the season.

A Tipp For Gold, who was listed-placed last time, has a fitness advantage, as does Desertmore House, a Grade 3-winning chaser with some useful hurdle form. It’s seven years since Munster National winner Real Steel last won over hurdles.

SELECTION: DESERTMORE HOUSE

Next best: A Tipp For Gold

1.50 Grade 2 BetVictor

Craddockstown Novice Chase 2m 43y

A close call, no less between Fascile Mode and Touch Me Not, with just a head between them here last month. Farren Glory and Sportinthepark both earned their place with clearcut wins last time, and preference is for the former Grade 1 winner.

A drop back in trip is the only question mark for blacktype French recruit Jordans, last seen winning a Grade 3 here over two furlongs further. Gaelic Arc would be considered on his Grade 3 second, but disappointed last time, when found to have blood in both nostrils.

SELECTION: FARREN GLORY

Next best: Jordans

3.00 Sherry Fitzgerald Brady O’Flaherty Supporting Longford GAA Novice Handicap Hurdle 2m166y

Union Station’s form hasn’t worked out as well as expected, and Well Dressed fared better than him when they last met. Marlpark and Lady Bresil’s maiden victories don’t read too strongly now, either.

Sonny May justified strong support on his second start of the season and there may be more to come from Denis Hickey’s seven-year-old. If You Let Me is a likeable, versatile type, but he isn’t guaranteed to appreciate the forecast rain.

SELECTION: SONNY MAY

Next best: Well Dressed

3.32 BetVictor Graduation Bonus Series (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race 2m166y

Sermandzarak’s run on Saturday will be informative regarding W B Easy, who finished fifth behind him in the Goffs Defender Bumper. He’s one of few with form, though Kalypso’chance was a wide-margin winner of a British point.

Soir De Garde automatically raises interest as a brother to State Man, while the Doctor Dino mare Kaleo Ametsa is a full-sister to a listed winner.

SELECTION: SOIR DE GARDE

Next best: W B Easy
