KIBRIS started his season in the Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown and while he hasn't progressed on the Flat, he may be capable of winning an ordinary enough maiden on first start over hurdles. Crooked Path sets the standard of those with hurdling experience following a solid second at Gowran 8 days ago, while Bridezilla has finished second on both starts over hurdles and arrives on the back of a career-best effort on the Flat.
