Winner of each of his last three starts including over hurdles the last twice. Successful on yielding ground over 3m1f at Kilbeggan last month and this drop in trip is unlikely to hinder him today.
Successful over hurdles at Limerick (soft) in March. Beaten a head off a mark of 114 over 2m5f at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) subsequently and interesting to see how he fares in novice company here.
Bumper winner for previous yard and off the mark at the first attempt for current stable when winning over 2m3f at Downpatrick (good) last month. Subsequently finished runner-up at Ballinrobe (good) and interesting upped in trip.
Broke his maiden at the fourth attempt over 2m4f at Ballinrobe (good) last month. Finished runner-up to Dorans River the time before at Downpatrick (good) and a bit to find with that rival here.
Dead-heated at Down Royal over 2m on good ground to record a first career success last month. Had just the two runs since joining this yard but has a bit to find with a few of these if he's to take this.
Rated 99 at his best on the Flat in 2016 and made a winning hurdling debut over 2m1f at Punchestown (good) when wearing tongue tie (retained) for the first time. Steps up in trip here and an interesting runner for good connections.
Winner of a handicap contest off a mark of 110 at Clonmel over an extended 2m3f on good ground last month. Progressing well having won two of his last three starts but this looks tougher.
Forecasts
Robin Des Foret (2/1), Dorans River (11/4), Cook Islands (10/3), Blast Of Koeman (6/1), Penance (14/1), Jefferson Davis (16/1), Silken Thomas (25/1)
DORANS RIVER finished runner-up dropping in trip last time out but he can record a second success in five starts over hurdles by taking this novice hurdle. The selection broke his maiden on his debut for this stable at Downpatrick last month and can get the better of top weight Robin Des Foret who is chasing a four-timer here while Cook Islands who was a useful flat horse last year can claim third having won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month.
