Formscan By Donal Murphy - The Myles Sunderland trained ANDREAS PRIDE is the pick in this poor quality contest. The daughter of Croco Rouge was a consistent performer in bumpers and ran well on her six starts in that company. She unseated at the second on her hurdling debut at Cork and although she was beaten a long way on her next start at Thurles she ran well there before tiring up the home straight. Jamie Codd is an interesting jockey booking and the 5yo can be expected to go close. After seventeen runs without a win Chasing Shadows doesn't deserve another chance. The Dessie Hughes trained daughter of Presenting has attempted to shed her maiden hurdle tag on fourteen occasions without success. She should run well but it is hard to side with her given her poor record. Of the others the Michael Winters trained Mollydod is the most interesting. She won a point-to-point earlier this month after a long absence and she could run well here with David Splaine booked to ride.
