8/1

First run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when 25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 46 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out. Clearly wasn't 100% and big chance if back to his best.

Forecasts

Tonaghneave Well (11/4), Bowensonfire (11/4), Malbay Madness (9/2), Hasten Slowly (5/1), Ceanndana (15/2), Newtown Rambler (8/1), Portnacoo (8/1), Extrapolation (9/1), The Dasher Conway (14/1), Run For Harry (18/1), Dollar Value (18/1)

It's probably best to forgive PORTNACOO for a rare poor effort at Punchestown last time and this 7-y-o, who is 3-3 in handicap hurdles at this course, gets the nod ahead of the hat-trick seeking Malbay Madness. Recent Tramore 1-2 Bowensonfire and Hasten Slowly should both have parts to play, too.
