McNulty Furniture Rated Novice Hurdle

Started 2-2 for Gordon Elliott with victories at Kilbeggan/Clonmel and having improved again in defeat when third on his hat-trick bid at Listowel last time, he's expected to run another big race.

Fair bumper performer (finished ahead of Chanceawetmorning in that sphere) who improved markedly from his hurdling debut when successful in a Tramore maiden in April. He's unexposed over longer trips and this lightly-raced 6-y-o can progress again to land the double.

Solid effort to get off the mark in a Down Royal maiden before running at least as well in defeat when fourth in a conditions hurdle at Wexford last time, despite not being ideally placed, and he's well worth a go over this longer trip given his form over middle distances on the Flat.
