Given the outstanding form he is currently in, this can go to hat-trick seeking THE TRIGGER who is turned out quickly from his first hurdles victory in just over two years when successful at Kilbeggan. His chase win at the start of the month shows he is in rude health which cannot be said for much of his opposition. The top weight Tick Along is open to improvement on handicap debut, as is Miss Mcilroy who has her first start for new trainer Charles Byrnes on her seasonal debut. After he got off the mark at the 13th attempt over hurdles, James Boru must also be given a mention as he bids to follow up off a 6lb higher mark.
