Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: G P Cromwell

4/1

Promising sort. Second of 7 in bumper (4/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 28 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. May well do better. Yard also saddles Bridie's Beau and His Nibs.

Form: 22-2

150/1

€13,500 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Lets Go To Vegas. Little to shout about judged on exploits between the flags.

Form: P/4P5-

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Stone-Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell

5/1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G P Cromwell

11/4

Creditable third of 8 in bumper at Clonmel (18.7f, soft, 9/4), would have benefited from stronger handling. Off 6 months ahead of this hurdles debut. Should have a future in this sphere.

Forecasts

Sporting Glory (11/8), His Nibs (11/4), Addragoole (4/1), Bridie's Beau (5/1), Dream Shaper (20/1), Seskin Flash (20/1), Beauforts Storm (22/1), Monroes Hollow (33/1), Tizonlyadream (80/1), Theballflanagan (100/1), Beefeater (150/1), Swing Time (200/1), Princess Fiadh (300/1), Three Tribes (300/1)

Bumper winner SPORTING GLORY wasn't beaten far in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 on his hurdles debut in March and, with his sights lowered significantly on debut for new yard here, this lightly-raced 8-y-o will take plenty of stopping. He will likely be followed home by the Gavin Cromwell-trained trio, with Addragoole preferred to His Nibs and Bridie's Beau for forecast purposes.
