Brontide won twice on the Flat for Jim Bolger last summer but hasn't shown much aptitude for hurdles in two starts and Bryan Cooper prefers the owners newcomer Delta Work, who scored on the Flat in France on heavy ground in November. Killasser Boy showed potential on his hurdling debut here last month while Royal Hawk should be winning before long though he has been racing on testing ground over fences in France and conditions may not suit. UNICORN, a full-brother to the useful Bondi Beach, only had four runs on the level, winning at Leopardstown as a juvenile. He looks just the type to make a hurdler and gets the nod to make his Flat speed count.
