It's difficult to get excited about anything here but perhaps Unanswered, who showed a bit of ability on the Flat, can improve enough from his run at Killarney to get into the frame. HOT ON MY HEELS didn't get going until much too late at Ballinrobe but wasn't beaten far at the finish and that could be good enough for this. Roisins Ciara ran in a bumper at Tramore last month after a mid-division hurdling debut at Navan and may prove best of the remainder. Dothislikethis was engaged in the 4.30 at Ballinrobe yesterday.
