Improving and rock-solid last season rising from a rating of 130 to 145 winning the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown in February. Second of 15 in the Grade 1 Triumph hurdle at Cheltenham and the one to beat.
Impressive 7½L win on hurdling debut in a Tramore hurdle over 2m on yielding ground, beaten 11L at Listowel last month. Tough ask in this company.
Forecasts
Mega Fortune (1/7), Balakani (8/1), Penneys Hun (14/1)
Balakani and Penney's Hun will be able to treat this contest as a chance to get in some serious hurdling practice as they may find it difficult to get anywhere near MEGA FORTUNE who returns here following a solid season last term.
