13/8
Runner-up twice over hurdles to date including when favourite over an extended 2m at Punchestown (good) last month. Steps up in trip today and likely to prove hard to beat with the tongue tie returning.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan
50/1
Beaten 39L when making her debut over 2m at Down Royal (good) last month and probably best watched on just her second start.

40/1
Unraced daughter of Milan out of a mare who is a full-sister to the useful Resolute Bay. Probably best watched on her debut here.

Maiden after 16 starts with her best effort coming when finishing runner-up over C&D on good ground last September. Beaten 28L at Tramore last time and drops in trip today.

Isn't She Lovely44
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: C D Maxwell| T: J G Cosgrave
16/1
Dual point-to-point winner and finished third in a maiden hunter chase here over an extended 2m7f on good ground on her track debut early last month. Raced prominently on that occasion and worth a check in the market here.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: D R Fox| T: M M McNiff
33/1
Struggled to make an impression in two hurdles runs to date including when pulled up at Wexford (yielding-to-soft) over an extended 2m4f last time. Probably best watched in this.

Milan Diva18
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: M J Bolger| T: Mrs S Dawson
16/1
Lost her saddle cloth when disqualified from third on her rules return over 2m6f at Cartmel (good-to-soft) last month. Had previously finished runner-up in a Necarne (yielding) point-to-points and drops in trip here.

Theatre Dreams9
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: A E Lynch| T: H De Bromhead
7/4
Run well in three of her four hurdles starts so far including when second of 18 over an extended 2m at Clonmel (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. Stable has an 18% strike-rate of late (4/22) and likely to play a leading role today.

Tricky Question43
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: J P O'Sullivan(7)| T: P J Rothwell
50/1
Beaten 72L in a bumper at Wexford (good) when making her debut early last month. Probably best watched on hurdles debut.

Tara Miat9
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-9| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney
16/1
Finished 103L 13th of 17 when making her debut in a bumper at Clonmel (yielding) last week. Others make more appeal in this.

Forecasts

Arbor Des Champs (13/8), Theatre Dreams (7/4), Field Robin (7/2), Isn't She Lovely (16/1), Milan Diva (16/1), Tara Mia (16/1), June Carter (33/1), Cahervillamilly (40/1), Tricky Question (50/1), Benefit Of Love (50/1)

Verdict

THEATRE DREAMS has placed in three of his four hurdles starts so far and his front running style looks likely to suit the undulating track here. The selection tackled a competitive 18 runner event last time and can see off the top weight Arbor Des Champs here with Isn't She Lovely, placed in a hunter chase here on her rules debut capable of claiming third.
