Ballinrobe preview Jessica Harrington's Tri Na Ceile has been on an upward curve since winning at Kilbeggan last month and bids to make it three in a row in the Ballinrobe Race Committee Mares Handicap Hurdle on Tuesday evening. She won her Kilbeggan maiden hurdle by four and three-quarter lengths before comfortably following up in a novice hurdle at the same track earlier this month. The soft ground that is forecast for Ballinrobe should not hold any fears for her but there are plenty of dangers in the 11-runner field. Course-and-distance winner Blackandamber Vic lurks down at the bottom of the weights, while Wate And Sea and Troubled Soul both secured victories this month. Mistress Mole, who was formerly with Paul Nicholls, has her first run for Gordon Elliott. Enjoy Responsibly was a wide-margin winner at Killarney and gets the chance to impress again in the Treacy's Pharmacy Steeplechase. Sam King kept on to dead-heat for second at Tramore and has prospects for Ted and Ruby Walsh in the At The Races Maiden Hurdle. The pair also team up with bottom-weight Old Castletown in the Corrib Oil Handicap Steeplechase but he may prefer better ground. Tisamystery and Valours Minion look best of the rest. He Is Top Class was demoted to second at Sligo but showed his ability to handle testing conditions there, which ought to stand him in good stead in the David Heneghan Memorial Handicap Hurdle. The Donal Downes Handicap Steeplechase over two miles and seven furlongs should be right up Bendala Bleu's street as a former point-to-point winner. Itsonthelist will like the rain-softened going and, with two runner-up finishes in his last three runs, has to be of interest in the Maloney & Matthews Handicap Hurdle. The On Course Vets Beginners Steeplechase is an ideal opportunity for French-bred As De Ferbet to get off the mark having come home second in his last four starts.
