Small field but fairly deep competition. Unexpected depth should improve considerably for a debut at Naas where not much went well. The vote goes to the winner of the double novice hurdle CHURCH STONE WARRIORa second remaining behind a very useful rival in Galway last month with likely improvement.
WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!
Needing to jump better than Down Royal on his first run for the Elliott yard, ARCTIC AMBITION now has Jack Kennedy on board and this trip drop should be fine. Oscer Romero, Difficult Decision and Beating The Odds are likely dangers.
Impressive Wexford winner Harry Des Ongrais should do well as the leg of the journey suits Jack In The Box, but after his C&D win here three weeks ago the turn may have been turned with FAVORITE DE CHAMPDOU (nap) and he can take that.
An open competition. Wexford bumper winner Ballycashin is of obvious interest on her hurdles debut, while Ginnets Girl looks the better of the Elliott pair. The selection is consistent SAINT DONAjust ahead of Roccos Inspiration in Clonmel last time and she can confirm that.

Although having the course of the race in front of Cork, ROSE GOLD won with some authority and could again prove difficult to catch here despite a 9-pound raise. Gali Flight and Moonovercloon look like strong two-way options, while support for long-absent Attitash could prove significant, with a similar sentiment applying to disabled debutant Asluckwouldhaveit.
Our Bobby arrives here in good shape and would have come close to Wexford last time out if he had gotten up last. Boghlone Honey should also do well to return to an 8lb top bar for their Sligo win, while Elusive Rebeldom appear to be the choice of the Tom Cooper pair, both of whom can be competitive. A chance is taken that the long absent CONSTABLE will be fit enough to do himself justice after winning back-to-back handicaps in July 2021. He is 11 pounds heavier than last time out.
A bit green and very lively when tried at freshman level in his three starts last season, nonetheless IT WAS TIME showed enough to suggest he should do a quick job in this sort of area. Nucky Johnson could be the one to follow the home selection, with Ideal Des Ciergues the most attractive of the hurdler debutants.
