FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GOODY FOUR SHOES is a dark horse, as he has finished unplaced in three maidens but might better today’s 115 perch. The seven-year-old didn’t race until last November but he finished behind two subsequent winners from each of the Punchestown-maiden hurdles he contested in November and December, shaping quite nicely latterly. Rockymountainbleu was receiving 13lb when defeating Sounds Victorious last November and with there being was no disgrace in finishing behind smart types at that same course last month, should compete under his claimer. Both Palamon (now tried in blinkers) and Heroes Rise flopped over course-and-distance in November and while Heroes Rise subsequently ran well at Thurles, would prefer a longer distance.
