HEADFORD FLYER won a point at Kildorrery last year and a bumper at Clonmel in March. He finished a very good second to The Bull Hayes on the flat at Tipperary in early March and looks good enough for this despite a penalty. In receipt of 8lbs, Wise Oscar looks a threat under Paul Townend as his third behind Belvedere Cruising in a huge field at Navan in March was a fine effort. However, his only run on fast ground produced his worst performance so some rain would greatly aid his prospects. Queen Of Cool was having her first start since November and making her hurdling debut when performing with credit behind Cheer Up in late March and can get into the places at least here.
