5/1

Fairly useful hurdler. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (10/11) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Yard in good form. Likely contender.

10/3

Made winning start over hurdles when taking 13-runner novice at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) 21 days ago, easily. May well do better yet and holds strong claims.

5/2

Unseated rider at Punchestown latest but had got back on track when seventh of 19 in Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (16f, soft) previously and must enter calculations.

9/4

Fairly useful hurdler. 12/1, career best when winning 19-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, heavy) 55 days ago, always holding on. This looks tougher but he warrants respect.

Forecasts

Western Comandor (9/4), Gentleman Joe (5/2), Wasthatok (10/3), Stuzzikini (5/1), Estepona Sun (12/1), Female Approach (20/1)

Preference is for WASTHATOK, who scored at the first time of asking in this sphere at Kilbeggan last month and remains open to improvement. Stuzzikini may provide the chief threat.
