Lets High Five It gained the only victory of his career over this track and trip in March of last year but has produced the odd decent run in similar grade. Coole Craft is the only other course and distance winner on view and is only 3lb higher than his victory in March. Boudry won a bumper when trained in the UK but has been looking a bit high in the weights over hurdles and though Wee Tiger has gone close on several occasions he's still a maiden after 23 career starts. The four-year-old EMILY SQUARE had been running well on the Flat before reverting to hurdles with a narrow defeat by Roja Dove at Fairyhouse. The winner was receiving 7lb so Tom Mullins' filly can go one better. She holds Killahara Castle on that run but Rebel Ace will be better for last month's return and has a chance of some place money though Paddy's Orient could provide the main threat after a very good run behind Queeny at Fairyhouse.
