34 confirmed for Boylesports Hurdle

Edward O'Grady's Staying Article heads a field of 34 at the confirmation stage for the Boylesports.com Hurdle at Leopardstown on Saturday.

Willie Mullins is mob-handed with five entries - though Blazing Tempo is highly unlikely to take her chance following her victory in the Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

Leading fancies include the ante-post favourite Scottish Boogie, trained by Charles Byrnes, Gordon Elliott's Plan A, Adrian Murray's Cass Bligh and the Jessica Harrington-trained Citizenship.

Robert Tyner reports Askthemaster ready to return to the fray after winning a 12-runner handicap hurdle over two and a quarter miles at the Dublin track on St Stephen's Day.

That was his first start since he finished down the field over two and a half miles at the Galway Festival in July.

"He's in good order. He did a grand job the last day. It was his first run back and it will have put him spot-on for Saturday," said the County Cork trainer.

Tom George has withdrawn Olofi, as expected, leaving Pat Murphy's Temlett as the only remaining entry UK entry.
