6/1

Fairly useful Flat winner. Beaten a long way in 3 maiden hurdles for this yard but his Flat ability provides the hope for better now handicapping for the first time in this sphere.

Forecasts

Big Dee (3/1), Wild Wild Wind (4/1), Marelly (5/1), Le Fanu (11/2), Atlantic Gamble (6/1), Donnrua Dream (17/2), Dontcavein (10/1), Gaoithe Glory (12/1), Las Brisas Boy (16/1), Glens Sensation (18/1), Falcon Park (20/1), Bobbisilver (25/1), Mudslide Molly (125/1), Ferdia (125/1)

His useful bumper form provides hope that BIG DEE can build on his improved hurdle effort here over Christmas. Wild Wild Wind has made a positive start to her handicap career and is second choice ahead of last month's Gowran scorer Marelly. A market move for Atlantic Gamble on handicap hurdle debut would also bring him into the reckoning.
