Tranquil Sea is no longer the force that won the 2009 Paddy Power at Cheltenham, as well as the John Durkan a year later, but he ran well enough at the Punchestown Festival and tops the weights.

The M.D.O'Shea & Sons Hotel Hurdle has attracted a decent field and it will be interesting to see if Realt Dubh backs up after Sunday's exertions here.

Elsie has had the misfortune to bump into top-notchers Champagne Fever and Don Cossack on her two appearances to date, but meets nothing of that calibre in the Killarney Racegoers Ladies INH Flat Race.
