MUIRHEAD and Psycho are classy hurdlers at their best and both have been chasing. The former hasn't had much racing recently but didn't run badly behind Sarteano over fences at Galway and last year's second to Khyber Kim in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle over this trip would comfortably be good enough. Psycho is much better known as a chaser these days but he's hardly a slouch over timber having finished a close fourth behind Stonemaster in a very strong conditions race at Cork in March. The four-year-old Magical Memoir is progressing nicely while Sicilian Secret is beginning to show his true potential at last.
