Catch The Swallows was second behind the brilliant Appreciate It in a maiden point at Dromahane in 2018. He won a Bangor bumper on his debut under Rules but has a long absence to overcome and has switched stables. SHOLOKJACK won between the flags just over a year ago. The second that day has won twice over hurdles this season and Dan Skelton should have his charge ready for this. William Cody is probably improving and Let's Have Another can build on his fourth at Warwick. The Sumba Island also makes some appeal.
