Everybreathyoutake failed to make the most of advantageous terms when runner-up at Limerick last month, though still finished in front of Stacks Mountain. Summer Hill has a tough task at the weights and Mystic Traveller makes his hurdling debut but the consistent DOCTOR DUFFY looks to have decent claims. The latter wasn’t beaten far when only fourth in a novice hurdle at Galway and the third horse is rated 130 which suggests he can make a race of it with Gordon Elliott’s charge on these terms.
