1.25 Thurles

Jimmy Du Seuil (11-8, Paddy Power) is a French import which cost €200,000 and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark on hurdles and stable debut. He was runner-up in the second of his two bumper starts in France and Mullins can work his magic on him here. Paul Townend chooses this lad over stablemate Asian Master and he has five winners from seven rides here so far this season.

2.00 Thurles

Fun Fun Fun (4-6, Paddy Power) was a smart bumper performer last season and won at Grade 2 level. She looked very smart when winning a maiden hurdle easily over course and distance last time out and this Listed race looks like a cracking opportunity to extend her unbeaten record over timber. The Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival looks like a reasonable target for later on in the season and she’ll need to be winning this if that is indeed the case.

3.45 Thurles

Femme Magnifique (10-11, bet365) finished second on her sole start in an Irish point at Carrigarostig in January. She has since changed hands for £95,000 and makes her rules debut in the closing bumper here. There’s plenty to like about her pedigree and she’s expected to be right in the mix. A first career victory could very well be on the cards.
