This is a very poor maiden and won't take much winning. SESKIN FLYER looks the logical pick despite this looking on the short side. His latest close fifth at Wexford was over 2m4f but he was there throughout and should be good enough. Foreign Bay had a run in a bumper at Galway in October, his first start after a poor run over hurdles a year earlier, while Oldcastle also showed nothing over timber in September and was beaten a long way in a bumper earlier this month. Highandmighty won two point-to-points in January and though showing little aptitude for hurdling might be good enough to reach the frame.
