Noble Expression, three-times an all-weather winner in the UK, hasn't shown much over hurdles lately but is one to note in the market. THIRD AVENUE stepped up to just short of this trip at Bellewstown and was always in the front rank, staying on to beat Hattie Amarin, who has won on the Flat and over hurdles subsequently. John McConnell's charge is 7lb higher but looks the one to beat. Sam Missile has won over further than this in the UK and can get into contention while Hook Head is the only course and distance winner in the line-up so can't be dismissed. Parisienne Ways has been running well though has never been this far while Auckland's two victories came on heavy going in Germany.
