| 13:30 | Marsh Novices' Chase | It's a match between Galopin Des Champs and Bob Olinger. Galopin Des Champs is faster and a brilliant jumper. | |

| 16:10 | Plate Handicap Chase | The Glancing Queen has impressed over fences this season. She can win this. | |
| 16:50 | Mares Novices Hurdle | Party Central is a closer and has a real chance, but I'm going to side with Grangee in an EW punt. | |
| 17:30 | Kim Muir Challenge Cup | "I'm a fan of School Boy Hours. He ran a blinder in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown in December. | |
