FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Nicely treated by these race conditions on his return to hurdling, MAXXUM(9) can strike for Gordon Elliott and, Jack Kennedy. Although well beaten over fences in the Mayo National last time, the gelding had scored at Clonmel back in April. Prior to that, the son of Westerner reached the frame in graded races over hurdles at both Navan and Fairyhouse respectively. With an official rating of 146, he sets the standard in this company and, also avoids any penalties. Hewick was far from disgraced in a big field handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival when last seen. On more suitable ground now, the veteran cannot be ruled out. Curragh Flat winner Reverend Hubert also boasts strong claims for Charles Byrnes.
