Paul Fahey's popular 12-year-old He'llberemembered will attempt to land the featured Premier County Hurdle at Thurles tomorrow for the third straight year.

Coming off the back of a win on the flat at Down Royal last month; a dead-heat in the Ulster Cesarewitch; He'llberemembered faces just four rival at Thurles but will have his work cut out to prevail.

He'llberemembered must concede weight all around as he is burdened with a ten pounds penalty under the race conditions for winning two hurdle races since May last year.

The slightly higher rated Ted Veale escapes a penalty despite winning two chases and a flat race in the same period.

Tony Martin has elected to ease his charge's burden still further by employing the services of claiming professional Shane Shortall on the Galway Hurdle third.

Daneking represents the top team of Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh and the six-year-old must be respected despite unattractive recent form figures.

He held a commanding advantage when parting company with the Champion rider at the first hurdle in the home straight at Cork when last seen at the end of August and is weighted to reverse Punchestown form with He'llberemembered from their encounter last December where the pair fill the first two places.

Henry De Bromhead runs his Grand National aspirant Home Farm who is unlikely to figure despite his liking for the place. He is twice a winner over the course and also won his point-to-Point at the nearby Horse And Jockey meet.

The field is completed by Cool Oscar who was successful on his only previous visit to the course in October 2012 but is way out of his depth on this occasion.
