J: Danny Gilligan

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Cork handicap hurdle winner (3m1f, soft) built upon a decent chasing debut to win a Fairyhouse novice chase by 14l next time (2m6f, yielding); looked bred to stay 3m2f trip in a Fairyhouse novice chase last time but weakened into third behind Rokathir and Maxi Mac Gold; based on that, drop to this trip seems the right move, and it's still early day over fences; interesting.

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Fourth on chasing debut at Cork when 8-1, with Showurappreciation 19.5l behind him that day; sent off favourite in a novice contest here last time (2m5f, yielding) and won easily by 14l; he's closely related to Irish National winner Our Duke so should enjoy this trip and the ground should be no cause for concern either.

J: Danny Gilligan

T: Ross O’Sullivan

Winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in April (3m, soft) and made a positive start to his chasing career when fourth of 15 on seasonal return back at Cork in November (2m5f, yielding); strong in the market for the original fixture, so positive things are expected of him.

T: Ross O’Sullivan

No impact in maiden hurdles but has improved for handicaps; good third off 104 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) then may have found the ground a bit lively when a 7.25l fourth over this C&D latest; should go well back on a softer surface.
