Useful hurdler Hazeymm never got competitive on his chasing debut at Tramore a fortnight ago but can build on that and is on the short-list. Original Option has proved a difficult ride over timber and almost threw the race away at Downpatrick last time but he's got plenty of ability and it would be no great surprise if he did better over fences. Our Gar progressed nicely over hurdles and made a reasonable start over fences at Thurles. He will improve for that while Traffic Article should have learnt from an early fall at Kilbeggan. SO DETERMINED is without doubt the form pick on his close second to Norther Bay over the C&D in August and though he's failed to make further progress he hasn't performed badly and probably found 2m7f too far last time.
