6:48 Bellewstown Tips

Back to hurdles after trying a bumper again and I feel that would be to sharpen up Jos Secret for this. Acquitted herself pretty well in two hurdles without getting a blow, and they came at 2m, so this step up in trip looks sure to suit.

Coming off a solid third- place finish in his last outing at Downpatrick, he also reached the podium at Cork earlier in the season , He´s a horse that keeps knocking on the door , eager for his first victory.

Gordon Elliott has two entries for this maiden race, but the preference is for the second string, Western Shores, who has finished fifth in each of his two starts so far. He wasn't far off in each effort, and he could finally find the improvement needed at the third time of asking to go close today, with Danny Gilligan in for his first ride. He is currently 3-13.

Made a good run when 5th of 24 at Punchestown last month and was`nt disgraced when 4th in a mares NHF last time, this longer trip should suit and wont be far away.
