FormscanBy Gary Carson - BUD FOX may be able to make a winning start over hurdles here. The Walk In The Park gelding was a touch disappointing on his last outing in a Leopardstown bumper but had been third in a Listed contest previously in Cheltenham. He was a point-to-point winner so could improve for going over obstacles now. Whinney Hill ruined his chances by jumping out to his left on his return at Fairyhouse in November. If connections have ironed that out he’d be a big player off an official mark of 124. Boedic also carries the Gigginstown colours and has a bit to prove as well, having been turned over at a short price on his hurdling debut at Thurles last month.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
