Lill Smith is the only one of these with a hurdles rating but her best run came when sent over 2m3f at Limerick. Edene D'arc started off with a bumper victory at Gowran on heavy ground and made an encouraging debut over hurdles at Limerick where he ran well for a long way before weakening. That was over 2m4f so this looks his trip for now. BEST NOT ARGUE completed a double on the Flat in September and was only beaten narrowly in three subsequent handicaps, all on ground with give. He looks an ideal type for jumping and can make a successful debut. French Made, runner-up in a bumper on her debut in France, would be an obvious threat to all if getting a run from her reserve spot.
