A Fine Young Man won a maiden hurdle at Naas in March but hasn't raced since April so BARESI makes more appeal. He's got a couple of recent runs under his belt and won't have to improve much on his latest second at Clonmel to land this. Raheenwood went close at Cork a week ago, though this is much tougher, but Colls Corner won a chase at Listowel in September and is only 2lb higher back over hurdles. Glenquest and Rinroe have yet to show any worthwhile form since returning from lengthy lay-offs.
