Formscan By Gary Carson - BIG DEE should be up to winning off this kind of mark. The Vadamos gelding looked like a smart sort when winning a Down Royal bumper back in November 2023 but has been a bit disappointing over hurdles. He did show more though on his handicap debut here over Christmas, when third to King Kali, and a similar effort may be enough to collect now. He had Marelly behind in seventh that day and that rival has gone on to score at Gowran since. On revised terms he can hold that gelding again. Wild Wild Wind has been placed on her last two outings and is another to consider.

Quotes on Ferdia (IRE)
I really like this horse. I brought him to Ballinrobe first time out and he was as green as grass. I didn't think it would be possible for him to win but he did. Philip wasn't over hard on him the last day behind Barry Connell's horse but the next time he meets him it'll be a different ball game. This trip is totally too short for him. He is a two-and-a-half to two-mile-six horse. His work at home is real classy. The dam is a half-sister to a good horse Paul Nicholls had (El Bandit).After Ferdia (IRE) finished 1st at Tramore on Sun, 4th Jul 2021 2m Hurdle Good
