Awayinthewest won a handicap hurdle back in May and the remainder have all won maiden hurdles. Timetoget and Jazz Mine have both been beaten since winning but the former finished in front of subsequent winner Just Klass in June while Willie Mullins complicates matters by running a couple of progressive types. Masons Daughter scored easily at Ballinrobe under today’s rider last month while Paul Townend partnered the less-exposed ROBIN DE CARLOW to victory over these hurdles last time and it’s the latter that gets the vote to show further progress and remain unbeaten.
