Lady Writer has secured back-to-back successes in handicap company at Punchestown and Leopardstown, but a big drop in trip could count against her. Mandarin Monarch dead-heated for victory in a Fairyhouse handicap three starts ago and has run well in novice company since, but HALSAFARI gets the vote. A good winner of his maiden at Fairyhouse, Michael Bowe's charge returned to that venue to finish second on his handicap bow and there is more in the locker.
Prediction : 1st Halsafari 2nd Lady Writer 3rd Mandarin Monarch

IFYOUCATCHMENOW couldn't get her head in front in bumpers, but got off the mark at the second attempt over timber at Fairyhouse and should improve enough to land this prize for Willie Mullins, who also has claims with Robin De Carlow and Sapphire Lady. Moskovite ran a solid third in this grade at Clonmel and could be much happier down in trip, while Agusta Gold was not far away in handicap company last time but this will ask more of her.
Prediction : 1st Ifyoucatchmenow 2nd Moskovite 3rd Robin De Carlow

Captain Cj has obvious claims after running a close second at Navan but if CAREFULLY SELECTED returns to action in anything like his best form, he will be tough to beat. Willie Mullins' gelding was second in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last March and was third in the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown after that. He hasn't been seen since, but is undoubtedly a quality prospect. Diamond Turf was disappointing at Navan but has claims here, while Spyglass Hill has shown plenty of consistency without winning of late.
Prediction : 1st Carefully Selected 2nd Captain Cj 3rd Diamond Turf
