Not the strongest maiden hurdle ever held here so it looks a really good chance for seasoned campaigner BEHIND THE CURTAIN to finally make his mark after three previous podium finishes over hurdles. The biggest danger looks Hesamanofhisword who got as close to a win as any of these have at Clonmel latest. Rules debutant Zihuatanejo is a fascinating contender and certainly a potential player based on his form between the flags.
