12:55 Leopardstown

JEREMYS FLAME ran with great credit for second in the Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown and would have finished much closer to the winner but for a mistake at the final obstacle. She could prove leniently treated on her handicap debut if handling the hustle and bustle of this competitive big-field event. Spruced Up is sure to be popular following her 18-length Fairyhouse romp on New Year's Day but she has a 13lb rise to contend with, while British raider Ena Baie is another who appeals in the green and gold of JP McManus. Willie Mullins is mob-handed, with the hat-trick seeking Drury and Cheltenham Festival runner-up Concertista looking the best of his squad.
Prediction : 1st Jeremys Flame 2nd Drury 3rd Spruced Up
