FormscanBy Gary Carson - UNFLINCHING (1) can make a winning return here despite having to concede weight to his rivals. The Gigginstown gelding won a bumper on his first start for Gordon Elliott after costing 150,000stg following his point-to-point success. He was well held in sixth on his hurdling debut at Limerick last Christmas but that was in a strong contest won by King Rasko Grey and this is an easier task on his comeback now. Midtown Manhattan looks like an obvious danger after an improved effort to chase home State Pension at Fairyhouse early last month. Young Doran has a mark of 110 after three hurdle runs and also has to be considered.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and that have not run under any Rules of Racing as a two or three yr old
Weights - 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
