Park Paddocks will bid to follow up on his recent Punchestown Festival success when he lines up in the feature at Wexford on Saturday, the Coast Hotels & Resorts Rated Hurdle.
The Gordon Elliott trained gelding belatedly got off the mark over flights at Cork before winning on his handicap debut at Punchestown just last week.
He will attempt to complete a hat-trick of wins and has most to fear from Monotype Arvico Bleu (first-time tongue-strap) and top-weight Jamie Sommers.
Paul Nolan trains Monotype, and he saddles Castafiore Park in the Freddie Doyle Memorial & Liz Doyle Racing Handicap Hurdle.
This three-mile contest looks a wide-open affair, with Glendine River Toushan and Wait Here likely to prove popular with punters.
Glendine River was successful at Tramore on her last start, and so, too, was Lacken Bridge who takes his chance in the Bolands Mercedes-Benz Wexford Handicap Chase.
This three-time point-to-point winner justified plenty of market support at Tramore, and it will come as little surprise if he manages to win again here with Ricky Doyle taking off 5lb.
Patrick Farrell owns Lacken Bridge, who is represented by Trans Wood in the Coast Rosslare Strand Handicap Hurdle.
This Gordon Doyle-trained six-year-old was a good third on her last start at Fairyhouse and she might be able to go a few places better.
The opening Coast Kilmore Quay Mares Maiden Hurdle looks an open affair, with Mysloegin Beliou Le Fume and Flamingo’s Court a few for the shortlist. Fintara and Veneziano Springs are the stand-out names in the Building The Future Beginners Chase, while Chisholm Trail and Ifyoucatchmenow should be able to make their presence felt in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race.
