Enda Bolger believes Wish Ye Didnt is his leading hope in the Boomerang Animal Bedding Cross Country Chase as the mare bids for a Punchestown Festival double.

The six-year-old landed the Ladies Cup on Tuesday by a comfortable 10 lengths and is ready to go again off bottom weight.

Bolger said: "She pulled out of the race well and won with a good bit in hand. We are claiming 7lb off her. She would be my best chance, but Josies Orders would be a classier type of horse."

The latter, the winner of three handicap hurdles during his career in England, unseated at the second-last in the La Touche Cup on Thursday when creeping into contention.

"He definitely runs. He got hampered by a faller but has no ill-effects and pulled out well. We were pleased with that first run for us. He was tried over banks as he hadn't shown form in England for a while," Bolger said of Nina Carberry's mount.

On Federici, who was third over course and distance in February, the trainer added: "He's had a busy winter and has picked up a good bit of prize money. He's good and fresh and jumps safely."

All three will have to master Sizing Australia, who is gunning for a hat-trick in this race. The top-weight has a welter burden of 12st 3lb to carry.

Brian Hamilton is on the lookout for rain for Jimmy Two Times, who contests the Setanta Sports Handicap Hurdle.

After winning a three-mile novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last month, the six-year-old gelding has a 5lb higher mark to overcome and drops back in trip to two and a half miles.

Hamilton said: "He has come out of Fairyhouse well and provided the rain comes, he'll run. Declan (Lavery) can't do the weight so Luke Dempsey, the man of the moment, has been booked. His claim will cancel the rise in the handicap.

"He's never raced on proper good ground - he's no speed merchant. It's a big pot and he's sound and we'll give him his chance provided the ground isn't too quick. I would be hopeful more than confident."

Arbre De Vie, who was fourth in the Grade One Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, is set to go off favourite in his first handicap for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh.

The Punchestown Charity Race closes the festival. Hes Our Music, with five Flat victories in Dundalk to his name, will be popular in this one-mile-seven-furlong race.

Tom George sends Seven Nation Army over from Gloucestershire. This grey son of Rock Of Gibraltar has been runner-up four times in a row and has to be respected.
