Recent Galway Plate third ZANAHIYR looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to add to his tally over fences. A former graded winner over hurdles, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding won his beginners chase at Thurles in February before being highly tried on subsequent outings. Returning to much calmer waters here, the seven-year-old can register a second career win over fences. Churchstonewarrior, a former Grade 2 winning novice chaser, is of definite interest on his stable debut for Cian Collins. The latter has made a hugely impressive start to his training career, doing especially well with cast-offs from other yards. Saylavee is also worthy of consideration having shaped well when second at Galway on her latest start.
Prediction : 1st Zanahiyr 2nd Churchstonewarrior 3rd Saylavee

Having improved over hurdles since last racing over fences, I AM SPIDER MAN looks a well handicapped horse in this sphere. A dual winner earlier this season, the Charles Byrnes-trained gelding can now race off a 10lb lower mark back in chase company. Having had just the one start over fences, the Walk In The Park gelding is open to considerable improvement. May Call You Back made a winning debut for Willie Mullins when scoring at Tipperary last month. Although the six-year-old mare has subsequently been raised 11lb, she may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. C&D winner Greenway Machine ran well enough when third at Roscommon last time to suggest he can get involved in this company.
Prediction : 1st I Am Spider Man 2nd May Call You Back 3rd Greenway Machine

Having run respectably when mid-division on his handicap debut at Galway last time, PAHLAVI should appreciate reverting to maiden company in this ordinary affair. The Shark Hanlon-trained gelding had been knocking on the door in stronger races than this prior to his scheduled engagement here on Thursday evening. Mount Anglesby is a lightly raced five-year-old with further scope for improvement over hurdles. Making his first start for the Richard O'Brien stable here, the Sholokhov gelding is worth a second glance in the betting market. Time For Tea arguably needs to improve a bit in order to win a race of this nature but the fact connections have yet to make the switch to handicaps suggest that they must feel the mare is capable of winning her maiden.
Prediction : 1st Pahlavi 2nd Mount Anglesby 3rd Time For Tea

Former point-to-point and bumper winning mare STRAIGHT HOME has to be of interest on her first start for champion trainer Willie Mullins. Lightly raced over hurdles having had just the five starts, the daughter of Yeats could be nicely handicapped off a mark of 97. C&D winner Inchiquin Star returned to form when scoring at Wexford on her most recent start. Now that she has managed to get her head back in front, the five-year-old could be capable of following up. Pidoyne, who boasts a similar profile to the latter mare, is another to consider for trainer Henry De Bromhead. The six-year-old has been raised 6lb for her Roscommon success but could still have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Straight Home 2nd Inchiquin Star 3rd Pidoyne

In the process of running a big race when unseating two out at Downpatrick last time, CORNAMONA PARK can make amends. The lightly-raced Gavin Cromwell-trained four-year-old had shaped with promise on her only two previous outings but stepped up on that before departing while still very much in contention. Mazza's Mahler finished mid division on her stable debut at Roscommon last time despite showing obvious signs of greenness. With the benefit of that run under her belt, the eight-year-old can show improvement in this moderate affair. Mother Ship has shown ability on a couple of occasions in her short career to date. A reproduction of her penultimate start at Roscommon would give her every chance here.
Prediction : 1st Cornamona Park 2nd Mazzas Mahler 3rd Mother Ship

Having shown up well in some decent maiden hurdles over the winter, THE GREAT UNKNOWN could prove to be well treated off a mark of 104 on her first venture into handicap company. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare should be suited to stepping up in trip here having run well when third on her only point-to-point start. Recent Wexford winner Safran Et Bleu has been raised 6lb but is a lightly raced gelding that could still be progressing. New Year Honours was pulled up on her most recent outing over flights but has won on the Flat subsequently. Very well handicapped over jumps relative to her rating on the level, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old commands respect.
Prediction : 1st The Great Unknown 2nd Safran Et Bleu 3rd New Year Honours
