5/6
Promising type. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle (9/2) at Naas (18.7f, heavy) 18 days ago, kept up to work. Up in trip. Should progress and looks the one to beat.

1/1
Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 2/1, fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 26 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Retains potential.

125/1
Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. First run since leaving P. M. Hurley when thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.2f, soft, 7/1) 62 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Stiff task against a pair of promising 6-y-os.

Forecasts

Ballybow (5/6), Ballygunner Castle (1/1), Kalnoo (125/1)

Verdict

BALLYBOW improved again when scoring at Naas while Ballygunner Castle was a shade disappointing at Navan, so the former gets the nod in what is effectively a match race.
