Cork Race 2 - Co-Op Superstores 3-Y-O Mdn Hurdle
ATOMIC CITY (2) is a former flat winner over 2112m at the course. Down field when last seen attempting a class 2 handicap at Ascot and subsequently gelded. Steps up in trip for jumps debut and looks a major player. GREEN SOUL (6) has not progressed in three starts since opening his account last year at Fairyhouse. Holds claims providing initial hurdle outing if there is a market lead. CHAIRMANFORLIFE (4) bounced back from a disappointing first hurdling appearance at Killarney to find the frame under Ricky Doyle at Listowel. Thereabouts. STEP BY STEP (8) recorded a 1.75L third of thirteen effort first-up at Ballinrobe and is respected.
