It's about time BLOW THE DOORS OFF was winning over hurdles and this looks an ideal opportunity. He's come up against some useful opposition since landing a Sligo bumper and his close second to Dromnea, with Thursday's winner Bonzo Bing behind, at Punchestown should be good enough for this. Easter Hunt, who was close up behind him on his previous start at Limerick, jumped poorly on his next start at Punchestown and was well beaten. Wood Breizh had looked a certain future winner after his first two starts over hurdles but was well beaten here last month and will need to do much better. Star For Life has shown the occasional sign of ability and may do best of the remainder.
