12.05 Kells Maiden Hurdle 2m

Tiger Tap Tap will appreciate this drop in class having contested a Grade 3 Hurdle on his recent comeback. Willie Mullins’ charge ran his best race on hurdling debut last season but also acquitted himself well in the highest grade in subsequent starts. Assuming that he just needed the outing last time, then he should account for this opposition. Pure Genius was well supported on his recent hurdling debut at Cork, but came up short after looking a likely winner. Again, he may have just needed the run, so better can be expected. A former French flat winner, he will appreciate the stamina test this track presents.
