Won first 3 hurdles, including a Leopardstown Grade 2 prior to finishing fourth in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Excellent second in Punchestown Grade 1 on final outing so obvious contender.
|
Useful hurdler who posted a good second in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m). Poor effort at Leopardstown next time but made an impressive winning Flat debut at Bellewstown 30 days ago.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Bellewstown (17f, good) 65 days ago. Easily passed over.
|
Modest hurdler who was well beaten back up in trip in handicap at Sligo (20f, soft) last week.
|
Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2m) 16 days ago, despite not being ideally placed, but faces a stiff task here.

Forecasts
Zanahiyr (8/13), Cask Mate (5/4), Bonarc (22/1), Justice Ears (250/1), Monoxide (300/1)
CASK MATE has race fitness on his side following a successful Flat debut at Bellewstown last month, so he's narrowly preferred to Zanahiyr, who was one of last season's leading juveniles.
- CASK MATE (IRE)
- ZANAHIYR (IRE)
- BONARC (IRE)
