Point winner who made a successful start in hunters at Limerick over Christmas. Stepped up on that form when second of 10 at Thurles (24.6f, heavy) since. Down in trip. Can't oppose.

25/1
Fair hurdler/chaser for Noel Meade earlier in his career. Has won only 1 of 7 starts in points since so not an obvious one to strike on hunter debut.

Timeform
Successful on last of 3 starts in points in March 2023. Absent since ahead of hunter debut. The betting should guide.

Forecasts

Romeo Magico (1/2), Neo King (10/3), Global Assembly (4/1), Hymie Weiss (25/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (66/1)

Verdict

This looks an excellent opportunity for ROMEO MAGICO to make it 2-3 in hunters. Global Assembly can follow him home.
