FOURTH CLASS showed real potential in both starts earlier this year and, though unraced since March, looks the type to have a good season. He can take this though there are plenty of dangers including Sheer Genius, another returning from a lay-off and a very good runner-up to Smokey Joe Joe at Limerick in January.

King Malik could prove the main threat on his hurdling debut as he has done well in Fairyhouse bumpers on his last two starts and beat Mickelson there last time.
