Simenon appears to have been rejuvenated by the return to obstacles and goes for a National Hunt hat-trick in the Budweiser Hurdle at Roscommon on Monday evening.
Willie Mullins' classy Flat stayer isn't getting any younger but boosted his confidence with a couple of victories at Cork, although he was then disappointing when reverting to the level at Killarney.
For all that he faces just the three opponents, this is far from a penalty kick because Snow Falcon possesses plenty of quality and was last seen claiming the Grade Two Boyne Hurdle at Navan in February.
Munster National hero Sadler's Risk could be using this as a springboard back to the Limerick showpiece, and Aranhill Chief is also better known for his exploits over fences but can't be dismissed entirely.
Four Flat races start the card, beginning with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at 5.00, and Sir Edwin Landseer attempts to get his head in front following a string of commendable efforts in defeat.
His trainer Aidan O'Brien throws two arrows at the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, namely Eavesdrop and Hibiscus, and the latter improved between her first couple of appearances so might be the one to beat.
The decent pot up for grabs in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap has attracted a competitive field, which includes no less than four last-start winners.
Chilli Spice and Malinka both struck over course and distance at the same fixture a couple of weeks ago, while Lady Fandango gained a deserved victory at Gowran and End Play has been freshened up since her triumph at Tipperary in June.
The consistent pair of Ceol Na Nog and Tara Dylan are just two others to consider.
Lasoscar was another who tasted success at this venue on his most recent start and tries to defy a 9lb higher mark in the Tote Handicap Hurdle.
