Keith Hamer

The six-year-old – very much a rising star for his County Meath handler – is a strong favourite at a best-priced 5-2 for that race over two mile and five furlongs.

He also holds an entry in the Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices’ Hurdle over a shorter distance, for which he can be backed at 8-1.
