Racing: Adamant Approach heads 39 confirmations for the Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.
Willie Mullins' 13-year-old proved he has lost none of his dash with a win at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and is currently running off his highest ever mark over timber.
Adamant Approach is one of four possibles for Mullins, who could also run Mister Hight, Quatre Heures and Orge D'Ete.
Champion trainer Noel Meade has four entries in the shape of useful novice Aitmatov, recent Navan winner Orbit O'Gold, Jaamid and Power Elite.
Jessica Harrington, who won last year's renewal with Studmaster, has three possibles in Breathing Fire, Valley Of Giants and Woodhouse.
Ross River, who last ran in the boylesports.com Gold Cup at Cheltenham, could attempt to take advantage of a much lower mark over hurdles for Tony Martin.
Arthur Moore saddles ante-post favourite Lenrey and could also run Well Mounted, who travelled over to Ascot to contest The Ladbroke last month.
Ado McGuinness' Victram is another who could take his chance.
Recent market-springer Kendor Dine, from the in-form Eoin Griffin stable, is still a possible but Nicky Henderson's Tarlac, who was the only original entry from England, has been taken out.
