FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MASTER HAKU hasn’t raced since showing form twice in November but will be ready on reappearance. The selection showed promise on his Cork debut and backed that up with another useful course effort, again finished behind Grey Jude later in November. That race’s third-placed horse recently scored at the Fairyhouse festival. Bulgaden Castle has been running well but might struggle to beat an on-song selection while Minella Mate has form but disappointed on a sole hurdles start in July 2023. Appy Getaway won a useful Kilbeggan bumper last August but returns following a layoff, on softer ground. Small Fry has his third hurdles start while all-weather specialist Persian Bliss is best watched.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards colts and geldings only, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 4lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs.
