13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good) 25 days ago. Appeals as the type to bounce back quickly and will be a danger to all if able to do just that.

Forecasts

Sonny May (4/1), Disco Dancer (11/2), Serienmond (6/1), Single Edition (13/2), Glen Kiln (7/1), Beau Walking (8/1), Run For Harry (17/2), Vadsa Queen (10/1), That's About Right (14/1), Marlpark (14/1), Queen Nel (20/1), Mercury Mission (20/1)

A first hurdles success could be on the cards for SINGLE EDITION, who was knocking firmly on the door prior to a below-par display at Punchestown last month and he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Disco Dancer is pretty consistent on the whole and rates the main danger ahead of Glen Kiln and Vadsa Queen.
