Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Philip Byrnes| T: W Durkan| OR: 119

5/2

Fairly useful Flat winner in France who gave a decent account of himself when in the frame on first 2 starts over hurdles. Below that level at Naas next time and ran poorly in Fred Winter since but has the form to be involved here.

Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, soft) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Hooded for 1st time. Each-way claims.

2/1

Failed to beat a rival sole start in bumpers but has acquitted himself well in a couple of starts over hurdles, latest when fourth of 14 in novice at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft, 6/4) 36 days ago. Likely contender.

Forecasts

Yoradreamer (2/1), Holy See (5/2), Arch Empire (3/1), W B Easy (11/2), Silent Guardian (14/1), Bobbysingindablues (25/1), Euro Maker (25/1), Ballykinlar (25/1), Red Or White (33/1), Status Green (40/1), Glens Sensation (50/1), Loulouless (50/1), Killian's Garden (80/1), Patrick Street (100/1), Pourquoi Poi (100/1), Glendower (125/1), He Who Dares (150/1), Way Down We Go (200/1)

There should be more to come from ARCH EMPIRE, who made a pleasing start for Gordon Elliott ar Navan last month. He gets the nod. Yoradreamer and Holy See look the likeliest dangers.
