Soldiers Hill has been raised 8lb for winning a maiden hurdle over 2m6f here and Politicise went close in a novices event at Galway recently. Rasiym won a handicap over 2m at Kilbeggan last time but is 10lb higher today while King Pellinor finished runner-up over a shorter trip at Bellewstown when last over hurdles. Victoria Bay last won over timber in 2018 though is usually in the mix but an open contest can go to HUMM BABY. Michael Hourigan’s mare ran well over too short a trip at Cork on her reappearance and it was good ground when she won at Tipperary last year.
