Granny Biddy goes in search of more success at Cork on Sunday when she lines-up in the feature JP McManus Handicap Hurdle.
The Mick Winters-trained six-year-old has already won four times this season, with her last two victories coming at the course.
She has gone up a total of 37lbs since her first win at Tramore in August and Donal McInerney will again be aboard the daughter of Flemensfirth here.
Kilcarry Bridge put in an impressive performance when making all at Gowran in September and he too looks to have strong claims.
The John Ryan-trained gelding was only caught close home in a Grade Three over fences at Punchestown last month and another bold showing looks likely.
Ryan also appears to have strong claims in the corkracecourse.ie Handicap Chase.
He saddles Kylecrue, Presenting Mahler and Draycott Place here, with stable jockey Danny Mullins opting to ride the former.
The Gordon Elliott-trained Doctor Phoenix was second over the course and distance on his last start and he will carry top-weight, while others to consider are Voices Of Spring, Just Get Cracking and Jack The Wire.
Elliott is represented by French import Manamite in the opening www.racinghomeforeaster.com Maiden Hurdle and it will be interesting to see how he fares.
Willie Mullins' Mary Sun is another obvious contender. She too is a French import and Danny Mullins will be aboard this daughter of Soldier Hollow.
Elliott and Mullins are again both represented in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Maiden Hurdle. Elliott saddles Secret Legacy while Mullins has Itsonlyrocknroll.
Padraic O Conaire and Hughies Bay are the stand out names in the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle, while Monbeg Chit Chat might be able to take the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Beginners Chase.
Dual Cheltenham Festival winner On The Fringe returns to action in the concluding Mallow Hunters Chase.
Nina Carberry will be aboard the 12-year-old gelding and he can be expected to outclass his eight rivals.
