There could be further improvement to come from maiden hurdle winner ROCKVIEW CONSORT (3). The John McConnell trained filly finished a fair third on the flat at Tramore (1 ½m) last time and will have no issue with conditions back hurdling. TIMOURID (1) holds claims on his sound third over hurdles at Sligo (2 ³⁄₁₆m) on penultimate outing. FATHOM TWO (2) won a course and distance maiden hurdle in the first-time tongue-tie last start and cannot be discounted for a stable in good form. STARMAN (5) also needs to be included.
