Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 23 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Naas (23.8f, soft) when last seen in April, seeming stretched by the trip under the conditions. Enters calculations on return.

Forecasts

The Striker Dylan (5/2), Technology (3/1), Padraigs Boy (11/2), Temptationinmilan (8/1), Danesfort Mayfly (8/1), Vintage Gold (10/1), Milanaway (14/1), Ixigreczed (14/1), Doitforjane Sid (16/1), Iron Allen (25/1), Littletwinklestar (33/1), Oh'herewego (66/1)

Verdict

THE STRIKER DYLAN has shown improved form this season, shaping better than the result when again making the frame at Wexford on his latest outing, so he is taken to get off the mark this time around. He can reverse the Wexford form with Technology, who finished ahead of the selection when runner-up on his stable debut, while Padraigs Boy also merits consideration.
