FormscanBy Michael Graham - HARDWIRED has shown form on decent ground which entitles him to go well in a race lacking depth. He has been placed in a bumper, a chase and two hurdle races so this could be his time. First-time blinkers go on in a bid to eke out a bit more from him and Shane O'Callaghan reduces his burden by 7lb. Mr Caplan is by Fame And Glory (as is Hardwired) and should appreciate this better ground. He was off since October 2019 before reappearing to finish unplaced in a Ballinrobe ladies' bumper last month. He can step up from that performance in a first-time hood. Charlie Siringo is on the same mark as Hardwired (106), but this ground is an unknown for the 13-race maiden.
