    13-race maiden over hurdles; easily held by a couple of these in maiden hurdles; unseated when still with a chance at Ballinrobe last week; Darragh O'Keeffe booked ,but needs to find a bit more to land this.

    Flat winner has a kink in him, and has twice run out, but solid seconds last twice and there was good money for him last time when clear of the remainder at Sligo, beaten around 2l by 115-rated rival; ground suits and this is a good opportunity.

    Has posted several fine efforts in maiden hurdles, notably when second at Kilbeggan over 2m2f (saddle slipped too); wasn't as good back to 2m at Roscommon since but this step up in trip should suit; big player.

    Some solid maiden hurdle form on good ground last summer; produced in good shape at Kilbeggan last month after a break; saddle slipped before the last, and he was worn down in the final strides despite his rider's best efforts; good run in the circumstances; leading chance.

    Verdict

    Chantilly Wings and THESILVERBRIDLE are both rated 104 and in good form but the 7lb mares’ allowance swings the verdict in favour of the latter. What’s New is penalised 8lb for a Flat win but should be involved. Lygon Lad can improve from his comeback run behind the selection. [Tyrone Molloy]
