Verdict
AHAKNOWYERSELF won a maiden point at Belclare and, though well beaten by Shantou Show in a similar race to this at Downpatrick last weekend, should be good enough for this. Dundaniel landed a winner of one of these at Bandon in convincing fashion and looks certain to get into contention but Tohellortoconnacht, in good form over hurdles at the beginning of last year, hasn't shown much in two starts between the flags. Boss Robin could hardly have made a more convincing debut at Comea in February and may have been feeling the effects when well beaten at Nenagh a week later.
