FormscanBy Gary Carson - CLAY PIGEONS (1) makes his first start in Ireland for Willie Mullins. The Elusive Pimpernel gelding won a bumper in Catterick for the yard last December before getting turned over at a short price in a Fakenham maiden hurdle. He looks capable of improving from that initial effort over timber, which came on softer ground. Chantilly Wings ran a big race at Kilbeggan last time, when losing out by half a length to Imarajan. He gets weight from the previous winners and is capable of another big show. Minella Hollow makes his first start since finishing third at Limerick last October and is another for the shortlist.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 9lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
