Golden Silver failed to fire in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham, but he will be out to give weight and a beating to a host of top chasers in the Tattersalls Ireland Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase, the feature of Fairyhouse's seven-race card.

Willie Mullins' charge was only sixth at Prestbury Park and will need to be on his game to give upwards of a stone to the likes of Jayo, Psycho and Sky's The Limit.

Frascati Park caught a tartar in Escort'men at Kempton last time and he will be out to notch his first hurdling success in the Bobbyjo Bar Festival Novice Hurdle.

Rhyl Accord should prove a tough opponent after his third over further at Navan, but the one to side with could be Whodoyouthink, who has some smart form over timber and won well at Naas last time.

Politeo had no answer to Alaivan at this track in February, but he looks the one to beat in the Weatherbys Ireland GSB Hurdle, though Cross Appeal and Point Of Light will keep him honest.

The ladbrokes.com Handicap Hurdle could be a battle between two major yards as both Mullins and Noel Meade saddle three runners.

C'est Ca looks the pick of the champion trainer's trio, but Meade may hold the stronger hand should Realt Dubh return to action in top form.

An easy winner at Punchestown in February last year, he was not totally disgraced behind Mikael D'Haguenet at Cheltenham and though he's been off for a long time, it would be dangerous to ignore him.

The meeting kicks off at 2pm with the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Handicap Chase, which sees Silent Creek bid to follow up his Limerick victory.

However, he's burdened with top weight, which could allow Gowran second Buen Camino and the consistent Tullintain to get involved.
