Henry de Bromhead's Monalee is all the rage for the two mile six maiden hurdle in Punchestown (at 2.50pm).

The five-year-old gelding has shortened to 100/30 from 13/2. This is his first crack at hurdles after winning a point-to-point and finishing runner-up in a pair of bumpers.

Meanwhile, in Cork several horses are attracting euro. Another Rebel goes for Mick Winters in the Blackwater Handicap Hurdle (at 2.30pm) and has more than halved in price from 14/1 to 6/1.

Bensachuine is a non runner in the bumper, so the odds-on-favourite Monbeg Worldwide has contracted sharply from 4/11 to 1/6.

James Nash 's Leap Dearg is popular in the preceding handicap chase. Paul Townend's mount is 11/2 from 8/1.

Among the drifters, the Willie Mullins newcomer Timi Roli is very easy to back in the opening maiden hurdle at 12.50pm. He is 6/4 from 8/11.
