FormscanBy Michael Graham - Gordon Elliott's AGAMEOFTWOHALVES could be the answer to this maiden hurdle. There was some promise in his sixth places in big fields at Navan and Naas before a remote fourth behind an impressive winner at Fairyhouse. Testing ground holds no fears for him and he's related to a couple of horses who have winning form over this sort of trip. Loyal Praetorian will enjoy this trip and ground, and wasn't done with in second when he departed at the penultimate flight at Limerick over Christmas. A step up in distance is likely to suit Good Option who can get in the mix. Harpy Eagle has plenty of placed form in maiden hurdles, however, that has all been on better ground.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that at entry have run at least three times over hurdles and have a rating of 110 or less
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
