Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last time in a hurdle at Limerick. Respect in this event. BALLYBOW (2) Secured a close victory last start in a hurdle at Clonmel and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. In the mix. INTENSE APPROACH (8) Assumed control from the start to win by 5 1/2L last start in a hurdle at Musselburgh. Has early speed and positions nicely. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .
