Fair hurdler. 5/1, very good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, keeping on without matching the winner. A repeat should see him in the mix again.

Forecasts

The Short Go (4/9), All For Rachel (4/1), Ballystone (4/1), Ebenezer Scrooge (11/2), Answer To Kayf (12/1), Blackwater Soldier (14/1), The Mass Path (20/1), Val The Man (20/1), Mousey Brown (25/1), Pahlavi (33/1), Winning Mischief (66/1), Thunder (100/1), Singing The Blues (150/1), Copper Coast (200/1), Policy Breaker (200/1), Le Sin Bin (200/1), Sunset Cato (200/1), Sekakarma (250/1), Didyouseethelight (300/1)

THE SHORT GO ran below his best when last seen at Fairyhouse 6 months ago but the pick of his exploits over timber gives him sound claims in a maiden distinctly lacking depth and he rates the one to beat in a refitted hood. All For Rachel, on the back of a good second at Ballinrobe 13 days ago, rates the chief threat, ahead of Ebenezer Scrooge.
