ESTICKY END ended his losing run at Dundalk under this rider last month, showing none of the quirks that have held him back in the past stepped up to this longer trip, and is preferred to Max of Stars, who remains well treated in this sphere on hurdles form. Starfighter recorded a third C&D win 2 weeks ago and is another to consider.
