5/1

Fair hurdler. Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Found good run halted in handicap at Bellewstown (20.3f, good, 5/1) 61 days ago, but he's a player if bouncing back.

Form: 67-1219

King Lenox²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: L P Dempsey| T: P W Flynn

25/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Bounced back to form when third of 17 in maiden hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, good) 28 days ago, but this demands more.

13/2

Fair hurdler who caused a surprise when off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 35 days ago, kept up to work. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Form: 3240-01

Forecasts

Given Wings (5/2), Barnacullia (10/3), Good World (5/1), Mc Alpine (13/2), April's Moon (8/1), Faith Du Val (17/2), Dreamsrmadeofthis (17/2), Brideswell Lad (14/1), Born To Rule (16/1), Buzz Light (18/1), King Lenox (25/1), War God (40/1)

DREAMSRMADEOFTHIS wasn't up to better company on her second start at Punchestown, but she'd previously made a winning debut in the manner of a good prospect at Cork, so remains with the potential to do better. Given Wings got the job done on first outing for his new yard at Killarney and should improve further, while Barnacullia and Good World are others to bear in mind in a competitive event.
