High Court Cave has his second run over flights at Punchestown with Noel Kelly reporting him to be in good form albeit with reservations over the deep ground.

The former point-to-point and bumper winner faced a tough task on hurdling bow when unplaced behind Ballybow in a maiden at Naas last month, and now contests Division 2 of the extended two-mile maiden hurdle on Punchestown's rearranged card today.

The Co Derry trainer said: "He's a Sligo bumper winner.

"The ground is probably a bit soft for him at this time of the year, but he's in savage form.

"He'll take a bit of working on Monday.

"He'll need a wee bit better ground."

The ground in Punchestown is now, heavy, soft to heavy in places after plenty of rain yesterday.
