Roachdale House hasn't won over hurdles since 2017 as his latest victory at Sligo came over fences. Whatsinthecorner won easily over hurdles at Clonmel before a fair run back over fences at Navan and isn't on a bad mark. Flamingo's Court is up 10lb for an easy victory at Thurles in February but she didn't run badly in a Listed chase a couple of days later. BITVIEW COLIN had only been showing moderate form before storming to a clear-cut victory at Listowel. He's up 7lb but would take some beating in that kind of form.
