SPEED GANG (NAP) had shown little in maiden hurdles before being well supported on his chasing debut at Tramore where he was challenging when falling two out. He can gain compensation on his handicap debut back over timber. Alfieri's close second at Sligo points to his chances and he ran well over a shorter trip at Punchestown while any further rain would aid the cause of Champ Royal, whose two best runs have been on heavy ground. Dr Val's run over the course and distance last month puts him in the picture while Oskar High completed a double in September and the six-times winning hurdler can never be dismissed.
