The Phil Sweeney Memorial Chase is the feature at Thurles today, Our Ben and Public Reaction being the principals in this listed event over two miles and two furlongs.
Our Ben comes out best on ratings in receipt of 7lb but is a frustrating sort to follow, and the Eddie Hales-trained dual course winner Public Reaction is preferred.
Carrigeen Kalmia and Django have plenty to do at the weights, while the remaining three runners appear to have little chance.
The Heineken WT O'Grady Memorial Hurdle has attracted three of the first five home in the Durkan New Homes Juvenile Hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.
Deputy Consort (third) had Financial Reward and Celtic Warrior close behind then, but the latter earlier scored over this course and has a sporting chance.
Noel Meade's powerful team could land a double with Bridge Run in the novice hurdle over two miles and six furlongs, and Hilamar Hotel in the bumper.
Bridge Run has looked a real stayer in comfortably landing a bumper and maiden hurdle on testing ground this term.
Four Chimneys recorded a wide-margin win at the recent Limerick Christmas meeting, and can defy a 6lb penalty in the 2m4f Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle as he's due to be raised 17lb in future.
