Ordinary World appears the star attraction as Ballinrobe signs off for 2019 with an eight-race National Hunt card today.

The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding has competed against the best both over hurdles and fences, with a third to Altior in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham among a list of Grade One-placed efforts.

The son of Milan is without a win since opening his account over fences at Fairyhouse nearly three years ago but has an obvious opportunity to put that right in the Eamon Sheridan Groundworks Chase on Friday.

Ordinary World made a more than satisfactory reappearance here last month when second to stable companion Moon Over Germany, and Rachael Blackmore takes over in the saddle.

The P&D Lydon Irish EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle is the most valuable prize up for grabs, and Tell Me Annie heads the weights against 14 rivals.

She merits respect on her second to Pravalaguna at Cork last month — while Tara Dylan Alohamora and Cocohulababy are others to consider in a competitive two-mile-six-furlong event.

Noel Meade is enjoying a good run both on the Flat and over jumps, and Harvest Bow may add to his tally in the Portwest 3YO Maiden Hurdle.

The daughter of Intikhab has filled the runner-up spot on both previous outings over hurdles and is taken to go one better at the chief expense of Very Excellent and Recent Revelations.

Gavin Cromwell and Jonathan Moore have forged a successful association in recent months and have bright prospects with Monsieur Bagot in the Tuam Herald Handicap Hurdle.
