In-form Theos Well can open his account over hurdles

Theos Well will be strongly fancied to open his account over hurdles in the Great Value Social Packages Maiden Hurdle in Cork tonight.

Winner of a Listowel bumper almost two years ago, the seven-year-old has finished in the frame in each of his four starts over hurdles, including a second to Lean And Keen over this course and distance last August.

Admittedly, he flopped when odds-on in his last attempt over hurdles, when a well-beaten fourth behind Patsio in Tipperary, an effort which was probably too bad to be true.
