Since it is just 10 days since On The Fringe secured one of the most convincing victories at the entire Punchestown Festival it may be a big ask for him to be as good again at

His trainer Enda Bolger is represented by Love Rory in the featured €30,000 handicap chase and Adrian Heskin is a noteworthy booking considering he has ridden She's Got Grit in her three previous starts.

She's Got Grit has Paul Townend on board today and she should relish softer conditions than when just edged out by Burn And Turn at Punchestown.

Ruby Walsh and Edward O'Grady can team up successfully with the Sligo flat winner Sailors Warn in the conditions hurdle.
