Noel Meade has won two of the three renewals with a newcomer to hurdling and LILY YEATS fits the bill this time. She ran well in a bumper at Kilbeggan on her debut and makes more appeal than stablemate Black Bart, well beaten in a couple of hurdle races back in 2013. Indian Court is another to consider hurdling for the first time after a second in a bumper at Roscommon but John Monash was unfancied on his hurdling bow at Navan and ran accordingly. Sizing Silver made a decent start over timber at Killarney only to disappoint on his last start which was more than two years ago.
