Ballymore Novices' Hurdle

BOB OLINGER won the Lawlor’s Of Naas very impressively in January, getting the better of Blue Lord who was running a good race in the Supreme yesterday before falling at the last. The six-year-old was narrowly beaten by Ferny Hollow on his first start over hurdles but since stepping up to 2m4f he has got even better. He faces two strong rivals here but punters are siding with Henry de Bromhead’s charge in the first race on Wednesday.

Brown Advisory Novices' Chase

MONKFISH has taken to fences brilliantly this season, winning on all three starts this term. His jumping has been electric and he’s one of the most exciting horses in training right now. The seven-year-old won the Albert Bartlett at the Festival last year in game fashion but has improved even more this season. He doesn’t look to have much on his plate in terms of opposition here and punters are happy to keep backing the Willie Mullins favourite even though he’s now a 3/10 shot.

Champion Chase

CHACUN POUR SOI has bolted up on all three starts this season and if he takes to the course, it’s hard to see what beats him here. Willie Mullins’ nine-year-old has had a flawless season, most recently winning the Dublin Chase with ease. If he runs to that level of form this today, he could put his rivals to the sword in the feature race on day two.
