In good form last Autumn, winning over 2m4f here at the end of October. Decent effort latest when keeping on to finish 3rd to First To Boogie over 2m6f at Punchestown in November.

8/1
Took 2m Maiden Hurdle on good going at Fairyhouse in October. May not have been suited by the very soft/heavy going on his four subsequent runs.

5/2
Two wins from nine outings in Point-to-points. Returned from a two and a half year absence to beat 17 opponents in a Maiden Hurdle over this trip at Cork. One to consider.

Placed in three point-to-points and a Bumper but has shown nothing in last six outings over timber.

8/1
Successful in handicaps at Thurles and Punchestown in February, then well beaten at Navan six days ago. His quick reappearance suggest that run can be ignored and he must be a leading player here.

Vinnie Luckp15
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: Rachael Blackmore(3)| T: M Winters| OR:  109
4/1
Has won a point-to-point, and a Beginners' Chase at Sligo. Placed three times over hurdles, in maiden and novice company. Prone to the odd mistake.

Forecasts

Boru Boy (5/2), Vinnie Luck (4/1), Tellthemnuttin (5/1), Rise Of An Empire (8/1), Usurp (8/1), Pacte In The Park (8/1), Perfect Man (8/1), Fenlon's Hill (33/1)

Verdict

PERFECT MAN took two handicap hurdles in February and, despite a poor effort at Navan on the first of the month he is taken to regain the winning thread here. Boru Boy came back from a long absence to land a maiden hurdle at Cork and looks the main danger, while Usurp could prove more at home on this faster ground and take the minor spot
  1. Perfect Man
  2. Boru Boy
  3. Usurp
