12.44 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase 3m 59y

Ramillies can make a winning start to his chasing career for Wille Mullins and Bryan Cooper.

A decent novice over hurdles last season, the grey competed in Grade 1 company at the major spring festivals. Although he fell short of the level required to be a force in that company, the former point-to-point winner gave the impression that he could have more to offer over fences.

Tenzing spent even less time over hurdles, having just the sole start when winning at Cork in April.

Connections switched him straight to the larger obstacles on his reappearance last month, with the five-year-old running a big race when third at Fairyhouse.

1.14 Molony Cup Handicap Chase 3m 59y

Costalita can add to her sole previous success which came at Clonmel in 2019. The Philip Rothwell-trained mare kept on strongly when second at Tramore recently, indicating that a return to this distance may see her in a better light.

Although the daughter of Gold Well is an infrequent winner, the same can be said about most of these.

Touch Of Oscar finished back in fourth in the aforementioned Tramore race but was another doing his best work at the finish.

Michael Hourigan has been enjoying a real revival in recent times and this eight-year-old would be an appropriate winner for one of his most loyal patrons, Donal O’Connor.

SELECTION: COSTALITA

1.44 Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase 2m 1f 166y

Yabo appeals as a lightly raced, unexposed mare who could have more to offer now she goes handicapping.

The seven-year-old had run consistently in beginners’ chases prior to emphatically opening her account at Gowran Park last month. Although raised 4lb for that win, Michael O’Sullivan can take a very valuable 2lb off her back on this occasion.

Brandy Harbour gave Diarmuid Moloney his first winner when easily disposing of the opposition at Limerick recently.

That success came over hurdles but the Grainne O’Connor-trained gelding also has solid chasing form to his name.

SELECTION: YABO

2.14 Billy Harney Memorial Irish EBF Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) 1m 7f 111y

The Model Kingdom might just be able to concede weight to these rivals. Noel Meade’s mare was a smart bumper performer last season, ending her campaign with a Grade 3 win at the Punchestown Festival.

Following an impressive hurdling debut success at Tipperary in October, she blotted her copybook slightly at Down Royal, but that was in a very strong contest.

Normal service was resumed when the five-year-old got back to winning ways at Punchestown last time.

Liberty Dance is a serious threat especially in receipt of 3lb. The Gordon Elliott trained mare finished behind The Model Kingdom at Down Royal but won over this course and distance last time.

SELECTION: THE MODEL KINGDOM

Next best: Liberty Dance

2.44 Carey Glass Handicap Hurdle 1m 7f 111y

Zoffanien has plenty going for him; dropping in class, with the excellent Daniel King taking 5lb off his back.

The five-year-old easily landed a gamble at Killarney in July and is effectively just 1lb higher here, once accounting for the rider’s claim. Since then, the Denis Hogan-trained gelding has acquitted himself well in two stronger handicaps at Cheltenham.

Blanketontheground has proven expensive to follow but the consistent mare has to be considered.

The nine-year-old has been campaigned in decent company for much of her career and always runs her race no matter what the opposition. Ideally, she may just prefer a little further but if this develops into a stamina test, expect to see her coming home strongly.

SELECTION: ZOFFANIEN

3.14 Horse & Jockey Hotel Rated Novice Hurdle 2m 7f

L’Or Des Roses steps out of handicap company here but looks an improving gelding who might be up to the task.

After the mandatory three runs in maidens, the grey finished second on his first start in a handicap, then went on to win his next two. Making the running on the latter two occasions, he jumped well and kept on strongly in a manner that suggests he should cope with this new trip.

Grand Soir has less to prove in terms of stamina, having won a point-to-point prior to making his debut under rules. Since then, the John McConnell trained gelding has won over three miles at Cork.

SELECTION: L’OR DES ROSES

Next best: Grand Soir

3.44 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares INH Flat Race 1m 7f 111y

Miss Agusta can take this finale for Gordon Elliott and Harry Swan. Runner-up in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper at Punchestown in April, the four-year-old was subsequently bought by Gigginstown.

Reappearing at Navan last month, the daughter of Well Chosen kept on well when finishing fourth in a listed bumper behind three previous winners.

Katou is a well-bred mare who has to be considered on her racecourse debut. From a good National Hunt family that includes a bumper and blacktype winner, she looks the most likely of the newcomers to trouble those with previous form.

SELECTION: MISS AGUSTA

Next best: Katou
