Some seasoned jump stars will hit the Troytown Chase stage at Navan tomorrow but for many, the exciting young talent on the wings will be the real focus of attention.

Two of the most promising prospects in the JP McManus collection begin new careers and the expectation around both of them is considerable.

Unbeaten in bumpers, Like-A-Butterfly should have little more than a glorified school in the maiden hurdle, if translating that speed to flights, but the former Stayers Hurdle runners up Le Coudray is being pitched in at the deep end.

The former Aidan O'Brien-trained horse hasn't run in almost two years but his huge reputation hasn't been harmed by some smart schooling sessions on the Curragh.

"Like most French-breds, he doesn't need to be taught much about his jumping," said trainer Christy Roche.

However, Le Coudray will have to be on his mettle against Minella Hotel, who brings some chasing experience to the party, and the strapping Macs Gildoran, who has been impressing connections with his jumping at home.

Arctic Copper ran a good second to Killultagh Storm at Down Royal and should relish the three miles of the Troytown where the former Irish National winner Commanche Court has his second start of the season.

Paul Carberry also looks set to win the Grade 3 Novice Hurdle with the tough Woodys Blue Lagoon, who should be up to conceding weight all round.

Limestone Lad's absence from the Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle throws the race wide open and it could be that Glenbar will provide the solution to it.

The Michael Cunningham-trained horse went down by just a short head to Splendour over the course and distance last time out and looks the most obvious answer to a tricky problem.

There were plenty of cheers around the winner's circle at Cheltenham yesterday when Sharon's Touch took the concluding William Latham Powell Memorial Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle for Co Cork trainer Louis Archdeacon and jockey Ron Flavin.
