10/1

Distance winner of a Thurles maiden hurdle in April on good to yielding ground. Not ruled out but has a couple of below-par runs to shake off.

Form: 10-P4

33/1

Winner of three of his 21 hurdle starts with the last win coming over three years ago off a 3lb lower mark. Plenty more needed in this group.

Form: 429/9-P0

1/16

In scintillating form on the Flat this season winning three times over varying trips. Sets the standard here and looks hard to beat.

Forecasts

Wicklow Brave (1/16), Vengeful (10/1), Cooldine Bog (20/1), My Manekineko (33/1)

WICKLOW BRAVE returns to a track he has a 100% record winning here in a 2013 bumper and on the Flat over three years ago. The nine-year-old appears not to be on the wain just yet at his age and sets the bar in this contest. Vengeful and My Manekineko may offer some resistance but this looks a tall order for both.
