Verdict
Je T'ai Porte has won twice at Dundalk and has been running well there all winter so is an interesting hurdling debutant. Battle It Out has run in some strong maidens and showed improvement at Fairyhouse but Starman hasn't run since beaten in a Fairyhouse bumper two years ago when trained by Willie Mullins. Ik's Man looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten at Limerick but made far too many errors when beaten a long way at Gowran. TRUST ME NATE probably ran into one in Paul Marvel when beaten a couple of lengths at Limerick. The remainder were well beaten and he should go one better though the winner's yard is represented by Figaroc, who has a fine pedigree but hasn't shown much yet.
