Fibrus Says Neigh To Price Hikes Handicap Hurdle

No comments available for this runner.

Bounced back to form with a bang at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) when defeating runner-up Coppola by 7.5l off a career low mark; hefty 10lb hit for that, but this three-time hurdles winner has won off a mark of 106 before; big player.

Much better chaser, winning 3m4f Cork National last season (good); holds a whopping 30lb lower hurdles mark but unable to capitalise on it in three runs over timber this season; must be kept in mind considering his mark.

Decent runs in defeat over autumn/winter, finishing fourth here (3m1f, good to yielding) and third at Punchestown (3m, heavy); less than fluent jumping at Musselburgh when fifth in February (3m, good to soft); stayed on for a distant third at Clonmel last time (3m, heavy); not out of it and this better ground may help.

Best effort when third in a 16-runner Naas maiden hurdle in December (2m3f, soft to heavy); solid fifth in beginners' chase debut at Cork; pulled up at Punchestown next time, but bounced back with a solid staying on fourth at Gowran last time (2m4f, heavy) in this headgear; has done most of his racing on softer.
