FormscanBy Michael Graham - This looks a good opportunity for GOOD RECEPTION. Tom Foley's charge was off for exactly a year before reappearing over this trip in Limerick last month to finish a very creditable second at 50/1. Of course the form has to be questioned as the winner was 100/1, but the fact that Good Reception finished clear of the remainder bodes well that he can build upon that effort. Hybery hasn't shown much in four starts, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him do better in this company for Willie Mullins off a break from March. Arthur Fonzarelli has fallen in his last two maiden hurdles, however, if he brushes up on his jumping he has the ability to get involved here. He came home second in a Roscommon maiden hurdle in September. Charlie Siringo could get closer on this better ground. Dinny's Ginny wasn't beaten far into fifth at Tramore and could put that experience to good use.
