Lucky Lyreen was staying on late over 2m4f on his hurdling debut here last month. A Down Royal bumper winner, he was conceding 7lb to Teuchters Glory when beaten five lengths in a Limerick bumper in March. The latter ran a fine race behind No Risk No Fun in a huge field of hurdlers at Cork a week ago and will take some beating though SPREAD BOSS TED, an easy Kilbeggan bumper winner, looked in need of his hurdling debut at Naas and can get off the mark over timber. Lucky Bresil came in for strong support in a Punchestown bumper last December but ran poorly.
