Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: Jonathan Sweeney

7/4

22/1, shaped like a stayer when fifth of 19 in bumper at Punchestown (18.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Back up in trip. Should progress having finished runner-up on sole previous start in this sphere back in January.

10/3

Kept up his run of placings under less testing conditions when second of 13 in maiden hurdle (3/1) at Cork (24.6f, good) 16 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity. Every chance he can go one better.

Forecasts

Churchroad Prince (7/4), Talk In The Park (3/1), Find A Fortune (10/3), Marv Michael (7/2), Tomas O Maille (12/1), Mickie Angel (14/1), Kerlogue (25/1), Padraigs Boy (25/1), Brown Boots (33/1), John Storey (66/1), Lispendense (66/1), Anysignofhim (66/1), Fellowshall (100/1), Foxy Rock (125/1), Donegal Danny (150/1), Ontheblind (200/1), Little Eddie (200/1), Silin Alainn (250/1)

Having finished runner-up on his hurdling debut back in January, CHURCHROAD PRINCE is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Find A Fortune, who kept up his run of placings at Cork recently and may have to settle for a silver for a fourth time in this sphere. Talk In The Park can edge out Marv Michael for third in what looks a weak maiden.
