17:00 Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle

This two-mile handicap is open to four-year-olds only and often includes horses who competed in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

Last year's edition was won by 4/11 favourite Vauban, who was in action on Friday when finishing second behind State Man in the Paddy Power Champion Hurdle. This year's renewal includes the winner and runner-up of the Triumph Hurdle, with Lossiemouth and Gala Marceau resuming battle in what could prove to be a titanic battle.

It's certainly hard to see past Willie Mullins and Paul Townend producing another winner with Lossiemouth, but with eight runners, there is some each-way value to be found among the other half-dozen runners, and should any of the three market leaders falter, then the next-best priced runner, Enjoy The Dream, looks ready to take advantage..

A useful hurdling debut earned third place in a 16-strong maiden in heavy going at Gowran, and she built on that impressively when landing a Grade Two juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse three weeks ago.

She will need to improve again to beat classier rivals here, but she could well be in the mix for a frame finish on the run-in.

Suggested each-way bet: Enjoy The Dream in the 17:00 at Punchestown
