Ballyadam Brook pulled up on his only start over fences but is a four-times winner over hurdles and expect him to make a bold bid. Double Seven completed a hat-trick over hurdles last summer and ran well behind Sin Palo on his second start over fences in June. He pulled up when strongly fancied at Kilbeggan last time and will find it tough against SHINROCK PADDY. A Grade 1 winner over hurdles, he hasn't quite hit the heights over fences so far but he's been competing at a much higher level and this looks his day. Mackeys Forge has a similar profile and should be winning soon though an absence since March may put him out of contention.
