8/13
Has been reluctant at the start but was on his best behaviour when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.2f, soft) 9 days ago, kept up to work. Stable in good form. Entitled to be bang there with a repeat.

Progressed further in a first-time tongue strap when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Faces a very stiff task on these terms, though.

Forecasts

Staffordshire Knot (8/13), French Dynamite (7/2), Franciscan Rock (11/2), Queenofthelodge (12/1), Shoot First (16/1)

Verdict

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT isn't not one to trust implicitly (has been reluctant start) but was on his best behaviour when landing a Punchestown handicap in a good time recently and looks the one to be with at the weights. French Dynamite has made an excellent start for present connections and warrants plenty of respect back hurdling following his Munster National success.
