Verdict
Winning bumper Khalessi has run nine times over hurdles and been placed four times so it will be a surprise if she can't get involved again. D'pinesflyer has tackled stronger company than this in her last two starts without showing much but her earlier form puts her in the picture along with Wings Like Arion, who makes his hurdling bow after showing promise in bumpers. The latter's stable also run FINTARA, a bumper winner at Punchestown in January and gradually improving over hurdles as she showed at Ballinrobe last time.
