The veteran BECTIVE CAVE (NAP) has struck form in no uncertain terms over hurdles having won three of his last five starts, He reverts to hurdles on a 24lb lower mark and will take some beating. Kavanaghs Corner has transferred from the UK where he had very consistent form. He's unlikely to improve much at the age of ten but a change of surroundings and a lowly mark make him a threat. Athloman Cottage has never won over fences and looked very one-paced at Ballinrobe and though Indian Music landed a Tramore handicap in August he disappointed at Sligo last week.
