Verdict

Aldawayfornothing didn't show much on the Flat though should do better over hurdles judging by his opening run here last month but dual UK Flat winner Viking Hoard was beaten a long way on his hurdling bow at Limerick though he'll be better for the experience, as will stable companion Toulson, also beaten a long way on the same track. Gordon Elliott has two entries but Yarmouth winner Askari was tailed off at Leopardstown last week and Jack Kennedy is on board Schindlers Ark, who didn't show much on the Flat. DEAL WITH IT makes his racecourse debut and the well-connected 135,000 euros five-year-old wouldn't need to be anything special to make a successful start in what looks a particularly poor maiden.
