Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after 8 months off when fourteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Good claims on the pick of his form and this is a weak maiden.

Forecasts

Clonshire River (5/6), On Your Way (4/1), Glendine Billy (11/2), Gabriel Ranger (13/2), Stagecoach Mary (7/1), Tommies Call (28/1), The Striker Dylan (50/1), Get It Right (50/1), Meidhreach (66/1), Kushkame (100/1), Lacken Forest (100/1), Maivangomary (150/1)

CLONSHIRE RIVER made a pleasing return in a deep Leopardstown handicap over Christmas and can land this weak maiden. Glendine Billy and Stagecoach Mary are feared.
