25/1

Kept on well to keep a remote third of 17 beaten 19L in a Cork maiden hurdle before unseating when going well at the last at Killarney in a race won by Dinons. Won a competitive maiden at the Listowel harvest festival last month. Place claims.

Forecasts

Getareason (5/4), Air Supremacy (10/3), Calie Du Mesnil (4/1), Sapphire Lady (5/1), Elwood (6/1), Madison To Monroe (14/1), Percy Veer (25/1)

In a contest where trainer Willie Mullins runs three it would be assumed that Ruby Walsh will not be asked for rigorous amounts of work on his return and his mount GETAREASON is hard to ignore. Distance winner of a Tramore maiden hurdle in August before disappointing at Listowel last month the five-year-old can get the better of his biggest dangers, stablemates Calie Du Mesnil and Sapphire Lady. A difficult start to the day where Percy Veer, Air Supremacy, Elwood and Madison To Monroe are not easily discounted.
