Verdict
Baby's Hot didn't appear to take to fences and reverted to hurdling with a very good run behind Coldwinters at Kilbeggan. AVIATORE returned from a very lengthy absence to run a superb race behind Roving Lad at Limerick. He couldn't quite manage to build on that at Tramore but that was over a trip much too short on fast ground and, after a nice break and racing over his correct trip, he's taken to gain his first success since 2006. Maddoxtown is still a maiden after a dozen runs over timber but was having his first start since November when a fine third over the C&D last month and looks a threat as does Preswell Lad, who has reverted from chasing in good form and will appreciate the test of stamina after staying on over shorter on his last two starts.
