Twin Joy showed promise in bumpers and on his hurdling debut at Punchestown behind Some Present. He completely flopped on his final start last year at Fairyhouse and has been given a break to get over whatever his problem was that day. BALLYADAM BROOK deserves to be winning soon after several fine runs over timber. He has had the misfortune to come up against some useful opposition this year and he can lose his maiden tag here. Bedford Row has ability but supporters may be wary of him after a couple of defeats when strongly fancied at the backend of last year and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Steel Park, an ultra-consistent performer with some very strong form in bumpers and over hurdles.
