Railway Hurricane is only 1-23 but did beat Mr Saxobeat at Tipperary in July. Latino Fling won over fences at Stratford but was beaten a long way off this mark at Sedgefield subsequently. HURRICANE BAY developed into a useful novice hurdler last season and this is probably his trip so he should go well in this if his jumping holds up. Ginny's Destiny has switched to the Nicholls yard and remains unexposed while Way Out has been making hay over the smaller obstacles. Passing Well might make a better chaser than hurdler but has proved best of soft ground so far, as has Atlanta Brave. Moon Hunter, on the other hand, needs good going.
