Verdict

Hes Our Robin has been alternating between bumpers and hurdles and would have a chance second to none on his close second at Thurles in January but he hasn't replicated that performance. He finished close behind bumper winner FEARACHAIN (NAP) at Gowran last month but that was the latter's first start since a very good second at Downpatrick in October and he can confirm the form and take this. Guerrilla Tactics has shown ability in point-to-points and Colm Murphy has a good record with similar types while Shouband hasn't been beaten far in bumpers and there's every chance he'll make a better hurdler.
