Most Peculiar, who landed a Downpatrick bumper in March, switches back from a decent effort on his hurdling debut and should be in the mix though it's MACBRIDE who looks the one to be on. Aidan O'Brien's charge had shown potential before making most at Limerick and he looks the type to go on to better things. Honkytonktennessee likes fast ground as he showed with a better effort at Down Royal though it's the progressive mare Dubh Eile who looks more of a threat after her comfortable victory at Gowran.
