Treculiar to prevail with the ground not likely to be a problem

TRECULIAR, who should have no trouble handling the testing conditions, gets the nap to take the Barrys’ Bakery Novice Hurdle at the final stage of Tralee this afternoon.

Pat Hughes’ gelding got off the mark over flights at Killarney in July, when there was plenty of cut in the ground.

Ridden from off the pace, he made smooth progress in the final half mile to beat Batang by six lengths.
