FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Another weak maiden and KINGS KEEPER, placed in five of his six starts over hurdles, is hard to oppose. He was runner-up to useful sorts at Limerick and Down Royal in mid-winter and was only beaten six lengths by subsequent handicap winner Wild Shot at Downpatrick last month. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Anyonecanhaveitall has won over 2m2f on the Flat and duly ran a little better when stepped up in trip for his third start over hurdles at Punchestown last month. He had plenty of rivals behind when sixth over 2m4f on that occasion but two miles around here will be sharp enough for him. Convertible was a dual Flat winner in Britain and his latest maiden hurdle runs at Ballinrobe and Down Royal weren’t totally without merit. He has a chance of being in the money.
