Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper.

Won at this meeting last year after a break and has generally held form well since, adding wins over hurdles at Listowel and on the Flat at Thurles; went close at Galway in October on last run over timber and just 2lb higher here; pleasing return on the Flat at Navan last week; interesting.

Course bumper winner is 0-10 over timber; went close on the Flat behind stablemate Pralognan at Newcastle last time out; ground (sft-hvy) was a valid excuse when pulling up at Fairyhouse on her last run over timber; conditions more suitable now; could go well.

Winning hurdler; has made the frame on last two Flat starts, third at Limerick, and fourth at Tipperary, both over middle distances; this longer trip may help, and the addition of tongue-tie could be a factor also; mistake two out put paid to his chance over hurdles at Tipperary last Thursday.

Verdict

A mistake two out proved costly for SPINNING WEB over hurdles at Tipperary last week. Two Flat runs in May imply he will be suited by this trip, and he is slightly preferred to Rauzan who has been progressive over hurdles and has shown he can handle this track. Young Lucy is one to watch in the market. Craic Eile is a dual course winner over hurdles and ran well at Sligo on Sunday. [Alan Sweetman]
