FEST DEIZ looks to have the strongest form of those with hurdling experience having placed in three of four starts over timber including at Gowran last time. Family Business finished runner-up at Kilbeggan last month and can figure while Song Of Earth will be sharper for a recent fourth at Listowel on his hurdling bow. Wild Rumour placed over track and trip at this time last year but point-to-point and bumper winner Breakeven is preferred on his hurdling debut. Knockmoylan has placed form in bumpers and could go well with Rachael Blackmore taking over the reins.
