3/1
Very good second of 12 in maiden (5/1) at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 15 days ago. This new trip should be within range and he's likely to make a bold bid to go one better.

14/1, bit below form third of 6 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) 20 days ago. Third of 12 off a 1 lb higher mark on latest start in this sphere at Dundalk in January and she needs considering.

25/1
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 5/1) 41 days ago. Opposable on handicap debut in this sphere.

9/4
7/4, won 10-runner novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) on Sunday. Decent fourth on latest Flat start at Cork in May and could have a part to play if turned out again quickly.

9/4
Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (12.6f, good, 6/1) 6 days ago. 2 lb nudge for that is fair and he has to enter calculations.

Forecasts

Dark Note (9/4), Blackpoint (9/4), Expound (3/1), The Truant (7/1), Je T'ai Porte (7/1), Lakomet Of Saints (25/1)

Verdict

This looks competitive, despite the small field. EXPOUND produced his best effort yet when going down narrowly over 9.6f at Ballinrobe and, likely to benefit from this stiffer test, the 4-y-o is taken to open his account at the eighth time of asking in this sphere. Blackpoint also found just one too good last time and is feared most ahead of Je T'ai Porte and recent hurdles winner Dark Note.
