13:25, Naas - Karbau the one to beat on Grade 1 novice form

Willie Mullins has won the Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas eight times in all since 2012, including in six of the last eight seasons in partnership with Paul Townend, most recently with Anzadam twelve months ago. Mullins is doubly represented in this year's race with Townend electing to ride the Timeform top-rated Karbau who therefore has the 'Jockey Uplift' flag.

Karbau finished well beaten in last season's Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham but subsequently ran well to finish third in Grade 1 company at both Aintree and Punchestown. He stuck to his task behind stablemate Salvator Mundi and Romeo Coolio in the Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree and filled the same position behind stablemates Irancy and Salvator Mundi again in the KPMG Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown.

Those efforts make Karbau the one to beat, while the fact his win at Punchestown last season came in heavy ground is significant as conditions are set to be very testing here too.

14:10, Sedgefield - More to come from Rosie Baloo

Sedgefield's mares' novices' hurdle sees a rematch between a couple of rivals who met at Wetherby on Boxing Day and Rosie Baloo is taken to finish in front of Laffer Curve once again and get off the mark over hurdles.

From a family that Tim Easterby has had plenty of success with, Rosie Baloo made a winning debut in a bumper at Southwell last summer and has since been placed in all three of her starts over hurdles at Hexham, Southwell and Wetherby. She ran her best race last time when finishing just over four lengths second to Scavengers Reign, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag, giving best only after the last having made much of the running.

Rosie Baloo jumped notably well at Wetherby and looks set to improve further, so should again finish in front of Laffer Curve who was patiently ridden on her hurdling debut and not knocked about in fourth.

15:10, Sedgefield - Indian River holds Triumph Hurdle entry

Adrian Keatley's four-year-old Indian River tackles handicap company for the first time at Sedgefield and looks to have been let in lightly, making him 3 lb clear in the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings with the prospect of improvement to come, this being just his third start over hurdles.

Indian River was also lightly raced on the Flat, showing ability in two runs for John Murphy in Ireland. He was supported for his debut over hurdles in a juvenile at Catterick in November and showed a good attitude to prevail after some late errors, edging ahead near the finish for a head win over Turenne as the pair pulled a long way clear of the rest.

Indian River followed up under a penalty in a similar event at Wetherby last time. Jumping well bar a mistake at the last, Indian River edged ahead after two out and was always holding on to beat Lights Go Down by half a length. A Triumph Hurdle entry suggests connections think quite highly of Indian River and he can make it three out of three over hurdles under Brian Hughes.
