Deploy The Getaway (Paul) goes for the 2 mile maiden hurdle. We were delighted with his run when he was second at Gowran last time. He was a shade unlucky there as he didn’t jump the last well. We’re not sure how he will handle this galloping track but nevertheless he should go very close.
We have two with good chances in the 4YO maiden hurdle over 2 miles. Ha D’or (Brian Hayes) is a very difficult ride and proved a handful when running too free at Leopardstown in February. His previous third at Leopardstown over Christmas gives him a great chance here. This represents a drop in class for him. Belle Metal (Paul) is having her first run over hurdles but she has schooled nicely and must have a decent chance on her bumper form.
Minella Cocooner (Paul) runs in the 2m 4f maiden hurdle. He was second over 2 miles at Cork last time but they went no gallop that day and the longer trip today will suit better. He should come on for that run and should figure prominently here.
Ciel De Neige (Paul) goes for the rated novice chase over 2m 4f. This is a competitive race but he won his beginners chase well at Thurles and will be suited by the extra two furlongs here.
