Not the strongest contest and EAT THE BOOK (NAP) is taken to go one better after posting two pleasing runner-up efforts at Ballinrobe and Fairyhouse in maiden hurdles when not beaten at all far on either occasion. He has yet to race on ground other than with cut but should be comfortable enough on the forecast good ground. Malina Girl has shown steadily progressive form in bumpers, culminating in a confident success at Wexford and is obviously a major danger in receipt of weight all round on this hurdling debut. Jetango has a point-to-point success in the book and hasn't shaped too badly on either start under Rules with mid-division finishes.
