Form figures suggest DANDRIDGE is the obvious solution, though his last two runs have been in bumpers after finishing tailed off over hurdles on his debut. In the expectation that he's improved significantly, he should gain his first victory. Jamesmicheal also ran well in bumpers and was in touch for a long way on his hurdling bow at Killarney so he looks the main threat if the selection doesn't take to hurdling. Tornado Watch didn't run badly on his debut in a Ballinrobe bumper but has been well beaten subsequently while the remainder will all need to improve to take a hand.
