Willie Mullins has an excellent strike rate with his bumper runners at this venue and SIP SIP HOORAY makes plenty of appeal on paper. She is taken to make a winning debut. Apples Jane may improve for quicker ground and she could be the main danger. The 4yo Isabella Johnson, Diamond Tipp and Kabylia can fight it out for minor money. Erika Des Champs is worth a market check on debut. [Dave Stephens]

Took a big step forward when third at 80-1 at Tipperary back in October; not seen since and the form hasn't really worked out; probably best watched after 200-day absence.
Has shown minor promise in two of her three starts; may have needed latest at Down Royal after a 164-day break; place claims if she can repeat the form of her Wexford debut sixth of 13 when not far behind a couple of subsequent winners.
Daughter of Berkshire is a Fifth foal; half-sister to 2m1f hurdle winner Johnny Clarke; dam unraced sister to useful 2m hurdle/chase winner Acordeon, closely related to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Quick Grabim; Cork raider worth a market check on debut.
Has finished runner up in three of her four starts; off since 6l second of 12 at Downpatrick in September; conditions to suit on return; place claims but may find one or two too good again.
Daughter of Conduit is a third foal; dam unraced sister to bumper/2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner Fete Champetre, half-sister to smart 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Ballymoy, out of bumper/2m4f hurdle winner; hooded for debut but yard can have winners in this sphere so check the market.
Second runner for yard; well beaten on debut for Padraig Roche and similar story on debut for this yard after a 222-day absence in a first-time hood (retained); others make more appeal.
Maiden point-to-pointer; 0-2 in maiden hurdles; showed a little bit more when midfield at Ballinrobe on latest; bred to need further than this in time; probably best watched in first bumper.
Sent off at just 10-1 for both bumper starts and while well beaten on debut, she fared better in a first time tongue tie when fifth of 12 at Down Royal after a 141-day break; this slightly shorter trip should suit and she is now hooded; in good hands and not discounted.
Walk In The Park mare cost 115,000Euros as a 3yo; third foal; half-sister to winners Waldlicht (French 8.5f AW 2yo) and Home Free (2m hurdle/chase); dam placed 1m4f (RPR 72), half-sister to Group-placed Flat and useful 2m-2m4f jumps winner Landofhopeandglory; yard has 37% strike rate (40-109) in bumpers at this track; obvious chance on debut.
Out of the brilliant racemare Apple's Jade; went close on debut at Naas but disappointed back there on her second start, both on soft; could improve plenty for better ground so she is considered.
Disappointed on heavy ground on debut in a Naas bumper; much better effort on quicker conditions when a 6.5l second of 16 at Ballinrobe latest; place claims again if repeating that.
Order Of St George filly is a first foal; dam unraced sister to Thyestes Chase winner Invitation Only, out of French 1m7f hurdle and 10.5f-1m5f Flat winning half-sister to 15.5f Group 3 winner Usuelo; yard 0-7 in bumpers so probably best watched on debut.
