Verdict
UP FOR DISCUSSION hasn't reached a place in six starts over hurdles but is still likely to attract support in this poor maiden. Enda Bolger's charge was travelling like a winner when falling two out in a Roscommon handicap in June and that looked to have affected his confidence when a beaten favourite at Bellewstown the following month. He's had a nice break and is hopefully back to his best. The opposition is negligible though Floramar could improve over this longer trip and June Carter didn't run too badly here in the summer. Loch Luatha is a winning point-to-pointer but has shown nothing under Rules and Secret Approach has only shown a modicum of ability though didn't perform too badly at Sligo last month.
