Great Trango was engaged in a handicap hurdle here last night. Hook Head led 2f out and ran on strongly to score over 1m5f at Navan and a 4lb rise is wiped out by his rider's claim so another big run is expected. Happy Company is on exactly the same mark as when landing a 1m5f Leopardstown handicap last summer while dual Flat and hurdles winner Take A Turn is on his lowest ever mark. DJASEK has been going well on the Flat and over timber without winning but is on a fair mark and will enjoy the conditions so gets the nod. Sayo finished fourth at the Cheltenham Festival but didn't get far at Punchestown and Merroir looks more of a threat after a comfortable victory over 1m5f on soft going at Gowran.
