Runner-up in his last two starts, the Eric McNamara-trained Cocovic should open his account in the Hankook Pearse Road Tyres Maiden Hurdle in Sligo.

Winner of a Ballingarry point-to-point in May of last year, this Ocovango gelding showed little in his first two excursions on the track, in maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Limerick.
