MARAJMAN ran well on his sole hurdles outing at Pau back in December 2017 and boasts leading credentials on his first start for Willie Mullins despite coming off a long absence. Arthurian Fame has shown promise on both his hurdle starts and should be suited by the step up in distance, while Axiomatic is expected to leave behind his hurdling debut at Limerick on St Stephen's Day.
Prediction : 1st Marajman 2nd Arthurian Fame 3rd Axiomatic

EPSON DU HOUX is yet to deliver on the promise shown on his debut when fourth in a Navan bumper to Fiddlerontheroof - struggling on his three outings to date over timber. That said, it would be disappointing if Henry de Bromhead's gelding couldn't take advantage of a contest that lacks depth on paper and he is taken to account for Biko, who sports cheekpieces on his second hurdles start, and Commander Lady.
Prediction : 1st Epson Du Houx 2nd Biko 3rd Commander Lady

QUARRY LIL won at the course two starts ago when allowed to make the running and the drop back in trip, combined with positive tactics, could see the daughter of Jeremy get her head back in front. Vue En Seine is of interest with cheekpieces and a tongue tie both applied on her second outing in handicap company, while others worthy of consideration include Capture The Action and Western Line.
Prediction : 1st Quarry Lil 2nd Vue En Seine 3rd Capture The Action

FOURINA flew home to grab an unexpected third spot at Punchestown just over a week ago and it is no great surprise to see her turned out so quickly. This step up to 3m should suit, and the testing ground is also in her favour. High Viz has a similar profile to the selection and is another who will enjoy this stamina test, while Rubiana, a 33-1 second at Limerick recently, is also taken to be involved.
Prediction : 1st Fourina 2nd High Viz 3rd Rubiana

THE WEST AWAITS wasn't disgraced in an above-average Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown earlier in the month and could get off the mark at the third time of asking now reunited with Patrick Mullins. The Flemensfirth mare will be better suited by the softer ground here and is taken to prove too strong for Daphne Moon. Maggie Margaret also needs a betting check on stable debut for Madeleine Tylicki.
Prediction : 1st The West Awaits 2nd Daphne Moon 3rd Maggie Margaret

AHERLOW hit the crossbar in a handicap chase at Down Royal last month off a mark of 117 and if he can run up to that level in this novice event, the eight-year-old will be very hard to beat. Tokyo Getaway is an obvious threat, having won over hurdles at Punchestown when last seen, while Final List and The Gunner Murphy complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Aherlow 2nd Tokyo Getaway 3rd Final List

17:20 Clonmel

DEILGINIS won impressively in a beginners chase at Cork last time and that form suggests that the daughter of Flemensfirth should be capable of winning a race of this nature off a mark of 112. Fiveaftermidnight made the frame when last seen over fences and she merits respect. All of the rest have chances but Ask Heather is just the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Deilginis 2nd Fiveaftermidnight 3rd Ask Heather
