Flamenco Prince won a maiden hurdle here earlier this month, his first victory after an astonishing 66 starts, and is now rated 16lb lower over fences so connections had little choice but to attempt to exploit the mark. LET THE SHOW BEGIN, twice a winner between the flags, created a shock when beating Shakervilz over hurdles at Kilbeggan and as he should be better over fences he's handed the vote. Dunroe Boy hasn't won over fences but generally runs well enough at a lowly level as he did behind Western Promise at Listowel last week. He should be thereabouts while Rathmoyle House was still in touch when falling in a better race than this at Galway last time.
