Sirius can storm home
Paul Nolan's six-year-old was very useful over flights and may prove even better at this game.
He was impressive in a conditions hurdle at Cork earlier in the month. The selection cruised through in the closing stages to give Helensburgh 11lbs and comfortable two lengths beating.
County Final, second behind stable companion Billy Bonnie on his debut over fences at Cork, rates the danger, but he has been largely disappointing.
Noel Meade trains County Final and can enjoy better luck with Ecole d'Art in the Sheridan Electric Castlebar Maiden Hurdle. He proved a costly failure at Downpatrick 17 days ago, after going off a heavily supported even-money favourite.
Ecole d'Art looked all over a winner when hitting the front at the second last, but was worried out of it close home and beaten a head by Aviatore. Dropping down two furlongs in trip now is hardly a minus.
Meade has possibilities of a double with once-raced Forthefarmer in the Gilmartin Group Bumper. The daughter of Charente River ran a nice sort of race at Limeick when fourth behind John Kiely's well-touted Snap Tie.
