FormscanBy Gary Carson - LIEBER NICC ran with promise in a couple of strong contests over the winter and should be up to winning at this time of year. The Champs Elysees gelding was last seen finishing third to Argento Boy in a Fairyhouse bumper having been a staying on eighth in a good maiden hurdle at Leopardstown previously. The fact that he doesn't have to carry a penalty here looks a plus. Ayiko has to give 8lb away having won a bumper at Ayr last December. He was a decent third over timber at Naas last month and is a big player on that form. Clodders Dream ran well in a rated novice contest when last seen at Limerick over Christmas and is another to consider.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards colts and geldings only, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs
