CENTAQ has been knocking on the door with consecutive runner-up finishes at Downpatrick and is taken to go one better if the likely strong pace materialises. The Border Boy returned to form when third at Fairyhouse just five days ago and has claims if he can build on that, while Wing Back may well get back on track if none the worse for his recent fall. Redcliff Glen is one to note in the betting.

    Poor recent form until fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (40/1) 20 days ago under a marked change of tactics. Tongue strap returns and one to note for support now below last winning mark.

    Verdict
    In good form recently, finishing second in last two handicap hurdle races at Downpatrick. Second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (9/4) 6 days ago, finding only one too good and shaping as if needing a greater test. Likely strong pace may see him go one better.

    Verdict
    Hit the frame several times in handicap hurdles, including when fourth of 13 at this course, but finished 11th of 14 at Kilbeggan (9/1) 68 days ago failing to build on reappearance. Cheekpieces replace blinkers today. Still seeking first win after 27 starts but worth a market check on stable debut.

    Verdict
    Inconsistent in hurdles before finishing fifth of 17 at Cork (10/1) 4 days ago, made headway to go third before weakening in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Quick return to action and not ruled out if he can build on that.
