Lucky Tenner landed a Limerick bumper with a bit in hand in December and should make a decent hurdler though M C MULDOON (NAP), a winner on the Flat for Peter Chapple-Hyam, ran well enough on his Leopardstown debut to suggest he'll have the legs of these. Whowonthetoss had shown plenty of promise in bumpers and though beaten 20 lengths into third on his hurdling bow at Naas should have come on enough to get competitive. Lariat showed the benefit of his opening run with a much better effort here and won't need much more to get into contention. Fraternity won on the Flat for Richard Fahey and is one to note on his hurdling debut.
