FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - MANOIR DE MIRANDE (2) already has a maiden hurdle win over this course and distance and was visually pleasing last time out. He travelled strongly before taking a gap up the inside and asserting in a similar contest at Ballinrobe. Although he took some time to get off the mark, Gordon Elliott's charge would now appear full of confidence, and Josh Williamson's claim is a further positive. Luker's Tipple finally broke his duck over hurdles at Downpatrick last time after 15 attempts, doing so in facile fashion, and should be a serious threat if taking another step forward. Firebrand and Hillhead Runner are others who find it particularly difficult to get their heads in front and should do battle for third.
