Winning bumper and hurdler LOCAL CELEBRITY made a decent start over fences but has jumped poorly in his three subsequent starts. He'll have been given plenty of schooling and wouldn't have been kept in the yard unless showing signs of improvement so is given another chance to show his worth. His overall form doesn't match that of Kashline but the latter has had plenty of opportunities and may prefer more give in the ground. Ravished made a poor start over the bigger obstacles at Tipperary but that will have blown away the cobwebs and more is expected. Time To Work did well over hurdles but he fell on his chasing debut and was well beaten on his next start so is best watched for now. Indian Fairy is having her first start over fences and hasn't run well over hurdles on her two latest starts after landing a Tramore maiden in August. The once-promising London Bridge has been beaten a distance in both starts this month, his first since 2011.
