5.30 Dickie McGuinness Novice Hurdle 2m 1f

With his confidence up from a first win over hurdles at Punchestown just under four weeks ago, Mick Collins gets the nod to follow up in a race where he has an advantage over his rivals on official ratings. Noel Meade’s dual-purpose four-year-old is 8lb well in with Chortal and 6lb well in with Autumn Twist, both winners who command respect. The ground should be right up the selection’s street.
