FormscanBy Michael Graham - This looks a good opportunity O' BON PARDON to get off the mark. He started his career off with a solid sixth in the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown in April last year and, after unplaced efforts in a bumper at Galway and a maiden hurdle at Punchestown, showed much more when a close fourth in a Naas maiden hurdle last month. Conor Stone-Walsh is proving good value for his 5lb claim in this sphere. Butchers Bill has faced tough tasks in his three outings to date, but this looks a weaker race and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Similar sentiments apply to the 102-rated Leah's Contessa who has in-form claimer Tiernan Power Roche up.

A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting THAT AT ENTRY HAVE RUN AT LEAST THREE TIMES UNDER ANY N.H. RULES AND THAT AT DECLARATION HAVE NOT BEEN PLACED FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD UNDER ANY N.H. RULES OR RULES OF RACING
