The majority of these arrive in poor form and would have problems winning any sort of race. The market may prove a good guide and Easy To See is likely to attract attention after running his best race to date at Limerick last month. Cave Artist has never won over hurdles but tackles this trip for the first time and could be suited. DRIVE ON LOCKY, sixteen times a runner over hurdles yet still a maiden, would have no problems landing this on his close second to subsequent winner Rightville Boy at Fairyhouse in January and he's handed the vote though prospective punters will need to forgive a couple of poor subsequent runs. Oscar Sam was beaten a long way at huge odds on his first four starts but attracted support at Thurles last time and did much better so he's one to note in the betting.
