Winning hurdler Dalasiri wasn't beaten far when runner-up to Shield over the track and trip in January and though subsequently beaten over hurdles should make a bold bid. Moon Dice is a decent hurdler and chaser who has been racing in strong company but is having his first start under Flat Rules. Wandering Aengus has some excellent form in bumpers though that was a very long time ago but Wither Hills has been running well and will have found 1m3f much too short here a fortnight ago. CAPE GLORY ran four times in quick succession last autumn and though failing to secure a victory was never far away. He looks a hurdler in the making but this can prove within his capabilities before he goes jumping.
