Willie Mullins and Michael Hourigan look to have reasonable prospects of visiting the winner's enclosure twice today with Mullins likely to be first off the mark in the three-year-old hurdle.
He saddles two in the race, but Barry Geraghty's booking for King's Ego indicates he is the stable preferred and the horse's last effort when a length and a half off High Stakes at Gowran seems to justify that rating.
Mullins runs River Cora in the Beginners Chase. This one has no chance on a last effort when well behind To Your Honour at Wexford. It could be worth betting that that was a blip, however, considering a previous runner-up to Regency Rake at Gowran.
Hourigan looks to have found a good opportunity for the luckless Fornaught Alliance in the maiden hurdle considering a fine effort when a length off Half Barrel at Galway after having to be switched on the run in.
Zaffaran Run's latent talent was glimpsed last week at Thurles when runner-up to Prince Wot A Mess and off a low eight in the handicap chase he is just preferred to Bronica.
The nap however goes to Lodge Hill won has won previously at Gowran.
