'He's the value against some sexier types' - a Thurles tip from David Jennings

Whatsavailable
4.00 Thurles
2pts win

You don't expect to see a Chester Cup winner, rated 109 on the Flat, running at Thurles on a Thursday afternoon in February, so the presence of Falcon Eight certainly adds some spice to the the 2m7f maiden hurdle.

Paul Townend is booked so anything but victory will probably be a disappointment to connections, especially since the form of his maiden hurdle run at Leopardstown is working out seriously well, but I think it could be worth looking elsewhere.
