Gowran Park's Pat Walsh Memorial Mares Hurdle carries Listed status this year and Willie Mullins launches a twin-pronged assault.

Ruby Walsh is on the four-year-old Whiteout, who shared the spoils in the Ulster Cesarewitch on the Flat after striking in this sphere at Bellewstown, with Paul Townend partnering Daisy's Gift following her Galway disappointment.

The list is headed by Carrigmoorna Rock, who scored at this level, as well as in a Leopardstown Grade Three, last term but came up short at the top table when last seen.

Walsh teams up with Stuccodor for Dermot Weld in the Racing Again Tomorrow Maiden Hurdle.

Classy on the level, the six-year-old isn't quite the same force over timber, although three seconds from four NH starts is evidence that a race of this nature is well within his compass.

My Manekineko edged home at Tramore and Cork in August but has much more on his plate on his hat-trick mission in the Follow Gowran Park On Facebook Handicap Hurdle.

Star Power sprung a 33-1 surprise at Kilbeggan and heads the opposition, along with last-start maiden winners Balinaboola Prince and Shouband.

The action gets under way at 1.55 with the Thomastown Maiden Hurdle, in which Holy Water will be fancied to gain compensation for an agonising defeat at the Listowel Festival.

Market support for Timanora went astray at Downpatrick last week but she goes again in the Dining Packages At www.gowranpark.ie Handicap Hurdle, while Copy Print was second as favourite at Ballinrobe and attempts to go one better in the Book Goffs Thyestes Packages Today Handicap Hurdle.

There is evening racing at Dundalk and while there is a disappointing turnout numerically for the Group Three Diamond Stakes, there is quality in the trio, with the admirable Panama Hat trying to give 3lb to smart filly Carla Bianca, and progressive handicapper Unsinkable can't be dismissed lightly either.
