Station Closed is in tremendous form with just one blip in her last four starts. She's been raised 10lb for an easy victory at Downpatrick and that could just halt her progress. Nobody Home beat a huge field on good going at Punchestown but didn't enjoy softer conditions at Listowel and wouldn't want any more rain. Winning bumper Theydon Park hasn't had much experience over hurdles but is on a fair mark and can go well but Don Franco's recent good form has been over fences. WHATEVER IT TAKES pops up every now and then and it could be his turn again. He's just 4lb higher than when scoring at Kilbeggan last summer and a recent run on the Flat following a long break should have put him straight.
