Grecian Tiger won this for Dermot Weld a year ago and WINDSOR PARK can follow suit. A dual bumper winner on soft going, he wouldn't want the ground to dry out but the son of Galileo is looking a smart prospect and should be good enough. Call Me Pj is another with winning bumper form and looks a nice prospect for hurdling while Golden Ticket has been in good form over hurdles and fences, though this could prove on the short side. Winning hurdler Rightdownthemiddle has been racing in good company though might just need this after a break but Whodoyouthink ran a tremendous race over this trip at the Galway Festival and a repeat would see him in the frame.
