Pigeon House finished runner-up to An Braden Feasa at Ballinrobe but the winner's stablemate EXPELLIARMUS was staying on nicely on her hurdling debut and can turn the tables. St Faz won on the Flat at Down Royal and led for a long way on his debut over timber at Killarney while Doctor Nightingale has been narrowly beaten in all four starts over timber, the latest when long odds-on at Perth. Emotivo didn't get the run of the race at Down Royal while La Tulipe Noir's form on the level is at around a mile but she has no problems with heavy ground.
