ENDLESS TALKING can make it third-time lucky over timber after two solid runs. The Affinisea gelding was third in a decent event at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago and a similar effort may be enough to get his head in front this time. Flying Ace shaped with promise on his 'track' debut when fourth in a hot Navan bumper in March. He has jumping experience from a point-to-point run and could prove the danger. Rare Times was sent off favourite for an academy hurdle when last seen in November, after a promising debut run at Cork. She's another who has to be on the shortlist here, back on better ground.
ENDLESS TALKING appeals as the most likely winner of this, two weeks on from a good third on a sound surface at Kilbeggan. As a former point winner the step up in trip should suit. Flying Ace is from a good yard and should go well provided he builds on a promising debut. He's the danger ahead of Lemmy Caution, who won a 3m point and could now leave behind his bumper form in hurdles.
