Naturally Blond and Ciaoifsin could contest the the lead here, with Khalessi, Mistheatre and Immortal Bridge sitting in behind. Preference is for the Joseph O'Brien-trained IMMORTAL BRIDGE, who can improve on his win last time out by a nose over 2m5f on good ground in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle. Denham Sound, can put behind his eighth of nine last time out, well beaten 16L on the Flat at Ballinrobe in June, Khalessi can grab a place.
