13:35 William Hill Ireland Lengthen Your Odds Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

GRAND JURY makes plenty of appeal. This point-to-point winner readily justified favouritism on his racecourse debut in a bumper here in March. He then signed off for the season when fourth in another bumper at this track behind the classy Dysart Dynamo. Henry de Bromhead has given a positive update on his schooling over hurdles in a recent stable tour. Protagonist accrued three victories on the Flat for Jessica Harrington and reached a mark of 92 in that sphere. It is not hard to envisage him performing well on hurdling debut. The form of Ardla's fourth in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle has been boosted so he shouldn't be underestimated. Smoke And Mirrors and Monkstreet finished third and fourth respectively in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse this month.
