Remains a maiden after 32 NH runs. Thirty five runs since last win in 2017. Excellent third of 13 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft, 80/1) 48 days ago, very much having run of race. Not certain to back that up.

Forecasts

Poppy Rose (2/1), Tingarran Express (3/1), Young Fitzy (6/1), Special Protector (8/1), Billy Lee Swagger (17/2), Wee Jerry (14/1), Max Time (16/1), Derby De Thaix (18/1), Perfect Arch (20/1), Eikonix (22/1), Backinabit (28/1), Container Madness (33/1), Thedancingfarrier (33/1), Cristiano Marealdo (50/1), Chosen Shant (50/1), Roderick (66/1), Take A Punt (80/1)

Verdict

YOUNG FITZY is on a career-low mark and turned in his best effort of the season when third at Limerick last time, so he's worth a chance to build on that. The in-form Poppy Rose deserves respect and market support would look significant for handicap debutant Container Madness.

  1. Young Fitzy6/1
