CAREY GLASS IRISH EBF COLREEVY MARES NOVICE CHASE (LISTED RACE)

TAHAA - 13/2

TAHAA shaped with plenty of promise on her Irish debut at Cork before falling two out, looking set to finish close behind smart rivals in a strong Grade 2. That form reads very well for this Listed contest, especially with mares she had behind now likely to be prominent here. With natural improvement expected after that experience over fences, she looks well capable of making a big impact.

BOYLE SPORTS MICHAEL PURCELL MEMORIAL NOVICE HURDLE (GRADE 3)

BON VIVEUR - 11/2

BON VIVEUR could offer value in this small field despite a below-par run at Navan, as he remains lightly raced and open to improvement. His Tramore maiden win has worked out well and his pedigree is packed with class, suggesting there is more to come. With Willie Mullins and Paul Townend on board, he’s capable of taking a sizeable step forward.
