In depth

Verdict

Oryx Hustler has his attention turned to jumping fences after landing a poor maiden hurdle at Tramore last week. His stable also run winning point-to-pointer Getaway Pat, who showed nothing in three starts over timber but was always likely to do better over fences. DEDANANN showed some ability in three starts over fences before reverting to hurdles and scoring over 3m at Wexford. That was his first-ever victory and he's handed the vote to double up. Hell On Earth ran so well in a course and distance handicap last month that he started favourite on a return visit though ran poorly but Walk Me home has won over timber and stays the trip so is one to note on her chasing bow.
