Race preview

MAXXUM is less exposed than most as he steps up in trip. He won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in March and was competing in a higher grade than this when fifth at Cork on his last start. Key Commander was brought down at the third last over a similar trip in Kilbeggan when still in touch. He looks one of the more likely threats. Birdie Blitz has the ability to get involved for Aidan Howard and Simon Torrens. Costalita has a shot at prize money.
