Kemboy looks certain to go off favourite for the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup with the sponsors offer of 11/8 a general price across the industry.

Aspire Tower is a rock solid 4/9 favourite to remain unbeaten over hurdles in the Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle and provide Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore with further Grade 1 glory.

Easywork is a quite weak 2/1 favourite for the Chanelle Pharma Novice Hurdle, with Mt Leinster stronger at a best-priced 5/2 and stablemate Blue Sari also catcing the eye of some punters at 9/2.

The other Grade 1 race on the day is the Flogas Novice Chase where Faugheen and Battleoverdoyen are hard to split at the head of the market around the 7/4 mark.
