Hello Sweetie has yet to win but had the remainder a long way behind when runner-up to the odds-on Blazing West in a Thurles maiden last time. You Can't Catch Me gained his only victory in 20 starts over timber on this track, though that was over 2m4f and he has no real form at this trip. Dragon Khan is still a maiden after 26 starts on the Flat and over timber though he's gone close on several occasions. He produced a fair run at Thurles last time and should be winning soon. ALL SUMMER LONG (NAP) has been steadily improving over hurdles and ran easily her best race so far at Gowran last month where she was only beaten a length. Paul Nolan has booked the impressive claimer Jack Kennedy for the mount and this looks another winner for him.
