FormscanBy Alan Magee - SWELLTIME won a 1m4f handicap at Fairyhouse last summer and has returned this year in good heart under both codes. The selection was ridden by an inexperienced amateur when staying on in eye-catching fashion to beat all bar King Pellinor on his hurdling debut at Tipperary last month and was subsequently just touched off in the final stride when reverting to the Flat at the Curragh. Isotope is the pick of these on the Flat with a current rating of 87 after scoring in good style at Roscommon last time. However, the Joseph O’Brien-trained gelding was soundly beaten on his only previous hurdle start at Galway last autumn. Oak Park and Pepperoni Pete are others to consider from leading yards.
A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at starting Weights - 11st 9lbs; Fillies allowed 7lbs;
