Go with Gervais
He has made steady progress in three runs, getting off the mark last time at the Galway festival in July.
The six-year-old finished with a flourish when second to Clondaw Warrior at Cork and then made no mistake with an emphatic success at the Ballybrit circuit.
Produced by Derek O’Connor to lead heading to the home turn, the selection surged clear to beat subsequent Killarney winner, Maller Tree, by nine lengths.
Dermot Weld can continue his great run with once-raced Sunset Stanza in the Helena Sheahan Memorial Maiden.
The daughter of Oasis Dream was unlucky not to get off the mark first time up at Killarney last month.
Nicely supported in the market, she missed the break and then powered home late to be beaten a length by Charpoy.
That was, admittedly, an ordinary contest but you could not describe this as being any better!
Tom Cooper’s Son Amix can make a winning debut over fences in the Kevin McManus Beginners Chase.

Life Of Reilly is a hopeful choice in a very competitive looking feature, the Guinness Handicap Hurdle.
He performed with promise when three and a half lengths runner-up behind The Bull Hayes at Killarney and may reverse placings, on 5lbs better terms.
