My Manekineko was having only his third start over hurdles when landing a Limerick maiden last month and starts off in handicaps on a reasonable mark with David Mullins' claim a bonus. DAMEFIRTH (NAP) landed a maiden hurdle at this meeting a year ago and returned to winning form over fences at Clonmel last month. Her future is over the bigger obstacles but this looks a very lenient mark back over timber and she can complete a double. The Absent Mare had been threatening to win a race over hurdles before doing so at Perth and she can hardly go any lower in the weights and though Vinniespride loves it around here and the quick ground will suit he hasn't been seen for a year.
