Aherlow landed a Cork maiden hurdle in May last year and had a light campaign over fences during the winter. He didn't show much but gave the impression there's more to come. Generator City won a novices' hurdle here in July and ran well at Tramore a couple of weeks ago. He makes his chasing debut as does stable companion Ozzie's Way, who landed a 3m handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in June. STONEFORD has fallen in two of his last four starts over fences but ran very well in another. He doesn't look one to have the mortgage on but would have every chance if getting round. Aasleagh Dawn has some decent hurdles form and ran better than her finishing position suggests on her only start over fences.
