Dare To Flare has won twice on the Flat and hasn't been beaten far in any of his three starts over hurdles. Hammersmith looked to have a good chance of getting off the mark over timber at Listowel last week but disappointed. WOJOOD was a 33/1 chance on his hurdling bow at Clonmel but belied his odds with a fine effort and won't need much more to lose his maiden tag. Jesse Evans won a Listowel bumper in good style last month and the half-brother to a winning hurdler can make his presence felt.
