5/2

Didn't show a great deal on first 2 outings in bumpers but improved appreciably on hurdling debut form when runner-up in 18-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (20f) on New Year's Day and better expected back in this code.

Form: 40/52

Forecasts

Dromard (10/11), Reckless (5/2), Pinndar (15/2), Line Speed (8/1), Siege Of Carthage (14/1), Double Dare (18/1), Daily Devotion (40/1), Ronnie Returns (66/1), Dorie Miller (66/1), Doreys Forge (66/1)

DROMARD doesn't stand out on paper in the way some from the yard do, but this doesn't look the strongest of races and he may not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start. Pinndar is clearly thought capable of better, while Reckless is expected to improve on his previous efforts in this sphere having shown a good deal of ability over hurdles on his most recent outing.
