Annie Power will face six rivals as she tries to atone for her last-flight Cheltenham Festival fall in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Champion Hurdle at Punchestown.

Willie Mullins' star had the OLBG Mares' Hurdle at her mercy in the Cotswolds only to come down at the final obstacle, leaving stablemate Glens Melody to claim the win.

Connections will be hoping Annie Power can put that fall behind her here and repeat her success of 12 months ago.

Last year's runner-up Jennies Jewel tries her luck again for Jarlath Fahey, as does third-placed Katie T, who represents Kevin Prendergast.

Charlie Longsdon's Kalane and the Neil Mulholland-trained Pass The Time represent British interests, with Jessica Harrington's Rock On The Moor completing the field.
