Wigs On The Green was still in contention when falling at the last back in maiden company at Limerick. He’s weighted to beat both Border Control and Biddy The Boss and the latter went close in a handicap at Tramore recently. Present In Court found only Eclat Des Mottes too good in maiden company here last time and the latter is trained by Willie Mullins. That should give him a good line on the form and he wastes no time sending LITTLE NUGGET over hurdles after the latter made a winning start in a bumper at Wexford last month when beating a subsequent winner over six lengths and she gets the nod.
