Useful on the Flat and won a Dundalk rated race for Tommy Stack back in December. Satisfactory introduction to hurdling for new yard at Fairyhouse on ground that may have been too soft last week and will find likely conditions more to his liking here. Should improve and not discounted.
A winner on the flat for William Haggas back in 2015 but has shown little aptitude for hurdling in three starts for this yard and looks hard to fancy at this stage.
Not disgraced in any of his three hurdles starts and has been running okay on the flat recently, not beaten far at Dundalk two starts ago but looks one for handicaps rather than today.
Placed on four of his five hurdles efforts but beaten three times at short odds as favourite, and Shesflattothemat easily reversed earlier Wexford form last time. May not be progressing and although this is another suitable opportunity, may not be one for the mortgage.
Has improved with each of his three hurdles starts and the form of his fourth to Dandy Mag last time out looks solid, winner well regarded and second has won twice since. Has a bit to find on the principals but clearly going the right way and with conditions fine, may go close.
Second at Hexham last time out but was beaten a country mile, and has no real form to speak of. Looks an unlikely winner.
Has barely beaten a horse home in any of his last six starts and seems to have far too much to do here.
Poor on the flat when last seen and hasn't visited a racecourse since last July. Can only be watched.
Hasn't pulled up any trees in three starts, one in a point-to-point and two hurdles starts, and far more likelier winners today.
No win in seven hurdles starts but has some decent form to his name, not least a good third to Ex Patriot at Fairyhouse in January. Has a bit to find with the principals to get involved, but one to consider for the places, with likely conditions fine.
Not a bad introduction behind Champion Bumper runner up Debuchet at Leopardstown in January but didn't build on that at Gowran Park next time. Posssible the heavy ground there was to blame, and may do better under likely quicker conditions.

Forecasts
Papal Motel (2/1), Bracklin Princess (3/1), Easy Gold (10/3), Leomar (7/2), Ineffable (7/1), A Shin Impala (8/1), Miss Sassie (25/1), Ashjan (40/1), Coherent (50/1), Chubi Chekker (66/1), Bobby Boucher (66/1), Shar Whats Therush (100/1)
It may well be that EASY GOLD is no superstar but he's the sort to do well now the ground is starting to quicken up, and he's been found a suitable opportunity to begin his hurdling career here. There's speed in his pedigree and if jumping proficiently, can get off to a winning start. Leomar would be the obvious danger on paper but he's starting to look a bit exposed now, and is beatable. It may be that Papal Motel is able to throw down more of a challenge if he's able to take another step forward.
