HURRICANE BEN will take some beating after his demolition job at Tramore. The ground was fast that day but he's scored on heavy going between the flags and this looks his for the taking. Fortune Bound gained his first victory between the flags on his 15th start at Curraheen while dual point-to-point winner Glencarrig Lad was well held in a maiden hunters' event at Cork in March. Kilcolman Hill was 12l behind the selection at Tramore and looks held but This Time showed his appreciation for very fast going when landing a point at Lisronagh last month.
