Henry De Bromhead has won the last two of these so Sheephaven Flyer, who fell on his only start between the flags in March, is one to keep an eye on. AGES OF MAN's close third behind the useful HMS Seahorse and a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse is the best form on view and he had little chance in the Triumph Hurdle on his next start. Aide De Camp has shown promise in bumpers while Western Commandor has twice been narrowly beaten in bumpers so is an obvious contender on his hurdling debut but Flyaway Maggie has had enough chances. Happywifehappylife does best in testing conditions while Up And Out ran poorly at Kilbeggan after a promising hurdling debut at Tramore.
