We are hoping that the drop back in trip here won't be a problem. Kempes (Ruby) goes for the 2 mile beginners chase. He has filled the runner-up spot on his two outings over fences but this track and the ground are not ideal.  Nicanor looks the one to beat but we are expecting our fellow to be involved at the business end today.

Fionnegas (Ruby) goes for the Deloitte Novice Hurdle over 2m 2f. We were happy with his run over Christmas and the extra 2f here will be a big help. He will love the ground but, with Dunguib in the line-up, probably the best we can hope for is second place. We run two in the Grade 1 Novice Chase. Citizen Vic (Paul Townend) is a big strong chasing type and he did it nicely at Punchestown. We will have a better idea of how good he is after today. Cousin Vinny (Ruby) has to improve his jumping but he has had a lot of schooling at home recently. If he jumps well here and hasn't lost his confidence he should run a big race.

We will be pleased if he runs well. 

Palace Merano (Paul Townend) runs in the 2m 3f beginners chase. He has disappointed this year and will have to show improvement to figure here.

Killultagh Queen (Ruby) goes for the 2 mile mares novice hurdle. She won at Limerick last time but could find For Bill a tough nut to crack. She should handle the ground, however.

Boxer Georg (Patrick) is in the huners chase. He put in a nice round of jumping last time and this shorter trip will suit him better. He could finish in the money today. We run a nice Supreme Leader horse in the bumper. He should handle the ground but this looks like a fairly competitive contest.

C'est Ca (Ruby) runs in the 2m 4f conditions hurdle. He ran a great race to finish third in the MCR Hurdle at Leopardstown and the extra 4f here will suit. On ratings he may find one or two too good for him here but he should make his presence felt. Otay Kawn (Ruby) goes for the 2m 4f beginners chase. He was well beaten at Thurles last time and this is a tough course to jump around. This trip will suit and he should be ok on the ground, though he would prefer it better.

He really needs a test of stamina so hopefully this trip will be adequate.

Boxer Georg (Patrick) runs in the hunters chase. He fell last time and we are just hoping that he gets around safely here.

Palace Merano (Ruby) runs in the 2m 6f beginners chase. He has won over this trip and over this track. He will go on the ground and should give a good account of himself.

She ran a great race last time and will love this trip and the ground.

We have five runners in the Thyestes over 3 miles. Equus Maximus (Davy Condon) missed a biot of work and could be caught out by the testing conditions. Arbor Supreme (Tony McCoy) is fit and well and, while he will handle the ground, he would prefer it better. Beroni (Ruby) went up 20lbs for winning and this is a hard race to win with anything over 11st. However, we feel he is entitled to take his chance.

Uimhiraceathir (Ruby) makes his debut over fences in the 2m 4f novice chase. He jumps well but is quite a difficult task for his first run over fences. Paul Kristian (Patrick) goes for the bumper.

He takes a big drop in trip here but should hold his own in what looks like a decent contest. Sports Line (Ruby) has his second run over fences in the 2 mile novice chase.
