Verdict

JOHNNYWHO is of strong interest on this Rules debut given that he had none other than subsequent Grade 1 hurdles winner Hermes Allen back in third when easily winning a maiden point in October 2021. This scenario probably won't be entirely ideal but the hint should nevertheless be taken if the market speaks in his favour. It was disappointing that Mr Mackay failed to land the odds at Hereford last time, and it's possible that Pentire Head and Bhaloo will emerge as the main dangers.

  1. JOHNNYWHO (IRE)
  2. PENTIRE HEAD (IRE)
  3. BHALOO (IRE)
