Looked a good prospect when winning bumper at Galway last July for Andrew Slattery. Well below that form for new yard when fifth in bumper at Leopardstown in December. Worth another chance on hurdles debut after a break.

Forecasts

Touch The Moon (11/8), Gomez Addams (13/8), Small Fry (5/2), Mc Swagger (25/1), Bells Grove (28/1), Penny Express (28/1), Beechingstoke (33/1), Dar Toungi (50/1), Calzaghi (66/1), Pinkarizon (66/1), Forlio (80/1), Ballinvasas Best (125/1), Approval (150/1), Phoenix Arizona (200/1), Straightenyourhand (250/1), Suresuresure (250/1), Desertmore Charm (250/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SMALL FRY looks the way to go on the back of a promising fourth in a big-field Down Royal novice last time. Touch The Moon has the form to play a big part if at his best back in this sphere, while Gomez Addams could also have a say on his hurdling bow.

  1. Small Fry5/2
  2. Touch The Moon11/8
  3. Gomez Addams13/8
