Formscan By Tom Weekes - CURIOUS TIMES was well enough held on his only previous handicap run but very much comes into contention today following his maiden hurdle win at Down Royal in January. He has shown useful enough form in maiden hurdles prior to an underwhelming debut handicap run in December but did show improved form to win his maiden in January, with the runner-up subsequently winning a maiden and there were also big distances back to the other beaten horses. CURIOUS TIMES has been raised to 113 now but should be able to compete from that mark. Wait Here is a dual hurdle winner and while he has failed to win in his last eight starts, he does appear the type to win again from his mark. He does lack a recent outing but today's rider does claim a useful 7lbs and he should get involved today. Mick The Boyo is now 11 but wasn't beaten far at Fairyhouse in December and cannot be dismissed while Mountain Fox is another not to have raced since Christmas but was well held on handicap debut then. Ming Dynasty is useful in these type of races and has his claims again today while Dark Decade has been well held in three maiden runs todate but nonetheless had plenty horses behind him on each occasion and can compete from his 104 rating.
