Niven, three times a winner on the Flat, produced easily his best run over hurdles in a huge field at Navan last month and there should be more to come. Plouios won a point at Loughnamore in good style and has joined a powerful yard so he should be winning before long but this can go to the same owner's EARLY DOORS. Joseph O'Brien's charge made a successful bumper debut at Punchestown in February then returned there in April to finish a close third in a very strong bumper. The remainder with experience have shown little so Jessica Harrington's 80,000euros purchase Juliespaddockwalk may prove best of the remainder.
