Gavin Cromwell has been unable to find a race over hurdles for winning bumper Fameaftertheglory who has been placed in seven of ten starts over timber and is rarely beaten far. He may meet his match here in ZAIDI, a very impressive bumper winner at Thurles and a good second in a huge field of maiden hurdlers at Fairyhouse. Ostend showed improved form at Leopardstown but may need more against the two principals while Skradin failed to land a gamble in what looked a poor Clonmel maiden last month where he led for a long way. Nytol looks best of the remainder after a better run at Wexford.
