Freeway Space has the best hurdles form and, having finished runner-up over 2m7f at Thurles, at least we know she stays the trip. She's up against a couple of potentially nice hurdlers including Classic Place, a winning point-to-pointer who ran well on his opening run under Rules in a Cork bumper though didn't look entirely happy on the heavy ground. SOME NECK has been very expensive to follow having started favourite in all five bumper runs. However, jumping was always likely to be the making of him and this looks an ideal start. Winning point-to-pointer Black Franks Angel will probably do better over fences while Nerual didn't look suited by testing conditions at Tramore.
