12/1

Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 12/1, sixth of 8 in minor event hurdle at Sligo (17.9f, good) 29 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

16/1

C&D winner. 50/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 21 days ago. Claims if he gets a run. RESERVE.

Conditions were perhaps too testing for THE RUBINATOR at Tipperary and he is well worth another chance. Indeed, he shaped fairly well on his reappearance at Galway and probably would've won off this mark at Listowel last September but for exiting at the final flight. Stablemate Western Sea merits respect but Knock On Steel, successful in this sphere at Cork on penultimate start, is feared most.
