Burning Issues didn't appear to stay 2m6f at Downpatrick after a better run over the minimum at Fairyhouse. Fredsmemory has looked moderate over timber after making a winning bumper debut but successful point-to-pointer Little Jimmy Brown has looked as though a step-up to this trip would suit in his last two starts. Myles Ahead landed a Wexford bumper and wasn't disgraced in a better event at Galway and though Vision Du Coeur is more experienced than these rivals he's been going well enough to consider. ON IMPULSE showed real promise on his bumper debut at Fairyhouse in January and was well supported when scoring comfortably at Thurles the following month. He makes his hurdling debut but looks to have plenty of scope and can make a winning start to his new career.
