COSTACURTA shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Fairyhouse and can build on it here to get off the mark at the chief expense of Kasanova's Dream who also made a promising start when third at Tramore and rates a big danger. Couldntmakeitup and Rapparee Champ both have the form to play a part too in an intriguing maiden hurdle.
