Boardsmill Sires Maiden Hunters Chase

Twice runner-up in hunter chases last season; beaten favourite both times; solid form behind his useful stablemate Asphalt Cowboy in this race 12 months ago before a less inspiring effort at Tipperary; beat a subsequent winner handily in a maiden point at Punchestown early last month; this looks like a suitable opportunity.

Pulled up on his only hunter chase start last season; runner-up in three points for Sonny Carey this term; two respectable displays before failing to land the odds in a four-runner race last time; unlikely to cope with stablemate Cause For Comment.

Has won only once from ten starts in points; produced a career-best in defeat against West Of Idaho at Tyrella just over three weeks ago.

Winner of nine of his 18 starts in points; has recorded five wins and three seconds since October for the very capable Emily Costello; however, he put a blot on his record when unseating his rider at the first in a hunter chase at Thurles early last month.

Hints of ability in maiden hurdles for this stable; won a maiden point at Hexham last November; hard to fancy on the form of two runs since returning to Colin McBratney.
