Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle (Grade B)
2m
Going: Good to Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneBUA BOY was an excellent second to the classy Arcadian Sunrise at Galway and can go one better here despite a 4lb hike. Denis Hogan's charge was third in this race last year and might come on a little from that run in Ballybrit which was his first appearance since February. Wouldn't You Agree had Whatsnotoknow and The Little Yank back in third and fourth respectively when landing a nice pot at Killarney and has claims again off a handy weight. Grade One winner Belfast Banter made a bad mistake three out in the Galway Hurdle and that run can be ignored, while Magic Tricks has disappointed on his last two hurdle starts but would have a good chance if coming back to the form that saw him narrowly beaten at Fairyhouse in April.
