HEES DYNAMITE finished with running left under an inexperienced rider at Listowel last time and remains well treated on his hurdles form. He gets the vote with Darragh O'Keeffe up now. Ballagh Star was another eyecatcher at Sligo last week and demands respect off 2 lb lower. Thursday's Clonmel hurdles winner Mount Shenshan and Juke Hill are also respected.
