Lost his unbeaten record over hurdles at Leopardstown over Christmas, had previously looked extremely promising and seems certain to mount a bold bid here despite conceding weight.

Improved effort at Navan last month though still has a fair bit more required to reverse Christmas form with Landofhopeandglory.

Finished around a dozen lengths in arrears of Landofhopeandglory at Punchestown in November, last month's Naas run suggests he still has a bit to go before closing that gap.

Good winner of a Gowran Park maiden hurdle in November though two subsequent runs have exposed his shortcomings and leave him with plenty on to get competitive in this.

Just the two runs over timber, won over C&D in good style first up though form of Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown gives him plenty to find. Could improve.

8/1
Runner-up behind Ex Patriot over C&D last month, first start over hurdles, potential for more to come.
Plenty good enough to match any of these on the Flat but yet to suggest he's going to prove as good over timber. Latest Leopardstown run leaves him with much to ponder.

Fair effort to be sixth of 20 in Naas maiden last month on first start over jumps, this is infinitely more challenging for her.

Horse silk
10/11
Wide margin winner at Cork in a maiden hurdle before Christmas, filly ran a solid race to be third in Spring Juvenile Hurdle latest and has good claims in this with her allowance.

Forecasts

Dinaria Des Obeaux (10/11), Landofhopeandglory (3/1), Ex Patriot (5/1), Mengli Khan (8/1), Prospectus (10/1), Bobabout (20/1), Sword Fighter (25/1), Amaulino (33/1), Champagne Pat (40/1), Charms Bracelet (100/1)

Verdict

LANDOFHOPEANDGLORY found Bapaume too strong at Leopardstown last time but can get back to winning ways here. He'd previously looked a promising hurdler and should be capable of conceding weight to Dinaria Des Obeaux. The filly was very good on debut at Cork but proved no match for Bapaume and Mega Fortune last time at Leopardstown and that gives her work to do. Ex Patriot and Mengli Khan both have scope for improvement while Prospectus is capable of running into the places but the remainder need the top two to misfire. 1. Landofhopeandglory 2. Dinaria Des Obeaux 3. Ex Patriot
