This doesn't look much of a race though there's every chance a couple of these could prove decent hurdlers and one of them, THINKITPLANITDOIT is taken to make a successful debut after a very impressive bumper victory at Tramore. Dramatic Event's dam is from the family of Kicking King so he should improve with experience and he showed up well when a close third in a Gowran bumper in March. Solar Heat has done best of those with form over timber and he's fit from the Flat while Deputy Marshall will enjoy the good ground better than most.
