A recruit from the Flat, WOLF PRINCE shaped with plenty of promise on his hurdles bow at Punchestown last month and likely has more to offer in this sphere on his second appearance for Gavin Cromwell. Instant Return was fourth behind the selection last time and commands respect having finished a fair fourth over C&D previously. Brawny, having his second start for Gordon Elliott, is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Wolf Prince 2nd Instant Return 3rd Brawny

13:05 Fairyhouse

IMPORTANT MESSAGE dropped to third in the closing stages over the extended 2m4f here last month and promises to be suited by this cut back in distance. The main danger may be My Manekineko, who advertised his well-being with a solid chase effort at Newcastle off 9lb higher last month. Fight For Love returned a disappointing beaten favourite at Thurles but likely has better to offer.
Prediction : 1st Important Message 2nd My Manekineko 3rd Fight For Love

13:40 Fairyhouse

Point-to-point winner MONKFISH built on a solid bumper run when second on his hurdles debut over 2m4f here and is expected to take another forward step now tackling this stiffer test. Osmotic is worth monitoring closely in the betting on his first start over timber after scoring stylishly in a Roscommon bumper in May. The pick of the remainder may be recent Punchestown third Atlantic Shore, who also steps up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Monkfish 2nd Osmotic 3rd Atlantic Shore

In a moderate contest, marginal preference is for MLILY based upon her third-placed finish over 2m3f at Clonmel nine days ago. The step up in trip should suit and a 1lb rise in the ratings for that performance is fair. Robin Deuz Pois merits a market inspection on her debut for these connections, with the shortlist completed by Ballymadun and Dicey.
Prediction : 1st Mlily 2nd Robin Deuz Pois 3rd Ballymadun

14:50 Fairyhouse

HOWAYA AOIFE got off the mark under Rules in a mares' handicap hurdle at Punchestown last month and she is the one to beat again off just 4lb higher. Ahgetawayoutadat is an obvious threat to the selection having hit the crossbar here last time out, while Castle Canny and Kayf Thou are others who merit consideration in an open race.
Prediction : 1st Howaya Aoife 2nd Ahgetawayoutadat 3rd Castle Canny

15:25 Fairyhouse

JELONA was not disgraced when finishing fifth in a Listed affair at Gowran Park and she will be hard to beat now eased in grade. More Info has run well in all previous starts and it would be no surprise to see the daughter of Scorpion make the frame once again. Some Might Say is another with valid form claims, while Castra Vetera and Glan are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Jelona 2nd More Info 3rd Some Might Say
