Ballymadun was put up 8lb after beating Bracka Lily at Down Royal but the forecast rain is very much in his favour and a double may be on the cards. GLOBAL RACING (NAP) finished ahead of him at Fairyhouse in January, however, and is better off at the weights. He may enjoy a switch back to hurdles after a couple of runs over fences. Bomber Jackson hasn’t run since October and Blondes No More has an even longer absence to overcome while Epsilon Indi has something to prove after pulling up at Limerick.
