Winner in hurdle at Naas in November 2019. 16/1, fell in Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) won by Shishkin, would have run well if completing. Off over 3 years. Market should prove best guide to claims on return.

Forecasts

Elixir D'Ainay (4/5), Tactical Affair (9/4), Micro Manage (9/2), Whimsy (14/1), Action Motion (50/1), Cruisin Susan (66/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from last month's Cork winner TACTICAL AFFAIR and he may be able to follow up. The Willie Mullins pair, Elixir D'Ainay and Micro Manage are both returning from long absences but are feared most nonetheless.
