1.22 Killarney Avenue Hotel Maiden Hurdle 2m 1f

Provided his confidence hasn’t been knocked from a fall at Fairyhouse in Grade 2 company over Easter, North Shore stands out with an official rating of 133. The Triumph Hurdle 12th had showed promise when third and fourth behind Narciso Has at Leopardstown twice before that. Portnahapple, runner-up in two Curragh maidens for Andy Oliver last autumn, rates a likely smart recruit to hurdles for Willie Mullins.
