Yeoman looked to have a good chance at Thurles on Thursday but was struggling when making a bad mistake at the third last and pulling up. The hunter De Danu ran quite well at the same meeting though most of the opposition failed to complete the course. Hold Em Cowboy has yet to win over fences but looks fairly handicapped and wasn't far behind Miss Pepperpot at Thurles last month. Oran Flyer is also still a maiden over fences after 14 starts though has dropped to a decent mark as a consequence, but HIDDEN PRESENT looks the one to be on despite a poor effort last time as his previous victory at Limerick would be good enough for this.
