A Grade 3 winner over hurdles, Glen Kiln should be good enough to make a successful chasing debut. Last seen when finishing towards rear in the Grade 1 Boodles Champion Hurdle at Punchestown, the David Harry Kelly-trained gelding stands out in this company.

Manoir De Mirande, who was a faller on his chasing debut at Kilbeggan last month, looks the main threat. In receipt of the four-year-old allowance, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding can at least reach the frame.

With the benefit of his vast experience over fences, Antrim Coast is taken to open his account. Placed on three of his previous 10 starts over the larger obstacles, the Rory Devine-trained eight-year-old looks to have a decent chance. Danny Mullins also rates a significant booking on the son of Presenting.

Kainsbourg was pulled up on his only previous run over fences, but has the potential to make up into a smart chaser. Grade 2 placed over hurdles, the gelding is almost certainly capable of much better than he showed on his fencing debut.

SELECTION: ANTRIM COAST

A winner of three of his four starts over fences, Anodandawink can go in again.

A former point-to-point runner-up, the Ciaran Murphy-trained gelding failed to fire over hurdles, but has looked a different horse since switching to fences. Recent Galway scorer Jukebox Johnny shouldn’t be far away.

Having shown promise when second on his chasing debut at Limerick, the Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding went one better last time. He remains open to further improvement in this discipline.

Third on her only point-to-point start, Gordon Elliott-trained Marie d’Angos can make a winning track debut. While the form of that aforementioned race has yet to be really tested, this looks an ordinary contest. A smart horse on the flat, Sea Coral should improve from her recent hurdling debut at Listowel. Though never competitive on that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained mare should come on from that experience.

Aidan Howard has his string in decent form at present and Not In A Hurry can provide the Curragh trainer with another success.

A promising third on his racecourse debut at Kilbeggan in August, the J.P. McManus-owned gelding opened his account at that same track last time.

Killarney runner-up Firebrand should be suited to this tighter track. Making most of the running on that occasion, the John Nallen-trained gelding was only caught close home.

SELECTION: NOT IN A HURRY

Narrowly denied at Killarney last time, the Ado McGuinness-trained Granlahan can gain compensation. A mistake three out almost certainly cost the four-year-old on that occasion.

A strong-travelling son of Equiano, he should be ideally suited to coming from off the pace. Jurality ran a huge race when second at Navan on his penultimate start, but failed to build on that at Roscommon. Undoubtedly better than that run, the Paul Flynn-trained gelding has to be respected here.

Not beaten that far when third on debut at Ballinrobe, Gaelic Seer holds decent claims.

Having raced with the pace, the daughter of Masar stayed on well to reach the frame. While she will need to improve to record a first success, she has the potential to do so.

Roscommon fourth Thrill A Minute is another entitled to come on from his introduction.

Having raced in mid-division, the Jack Doyle-trained gelding came through to lead before weakening two furlongs out. He should be more streetwise on this occasion.
