5.45 Listowel Tropical Tree 10/3 Paddy Power BOG Tropical Tree was just denied in a maiden hurdle fto at this meeting last year going down by under a length to Rising Time. She then reverted to bumpers where she finished the season by winning at the Punchestown festival. She won a maiden hurdle at Limerick lto. Although she would be suited by a longer trip and softer ground she is a much better horse than this time last year and the ground is softer than forcast having had 12 hours rain yesterday. Rainbow Zira has her first run over hurdles having won 2 bumpers and is interesting while Lady of Glencoe, Chiltern Hills and Little Robin would all prefer a sounder surface. 10 Points win Tropical Three 10/3 Paddy Power BOG 6.15 Listowel Fair Dilemma 10/1 Paddy Power BOG Fair Dilemma gave notice that a return to form was immanent when 4th to Alf Wright at Tramore beaten less than 4 lengths last month. He comes here in similar form to last year having won a chase and a hurdle here at the festival. His trainer loves to have winners here and a tilt at the ring is sure to have him primed for the day and the recent rain will be a help. 5 Points e/w Fair Dilemma 10/1 Paddy Power BOG
