Winning bumper and hurdler Bosman Rule hasn't taken to fences so far but has run in better races than this and there's still plenty of time for him to adapt. Ballela Boy has a similar profile but has finished in front of him the last twice and there's no reason for a form reversal so he should get into the frame. Une Lavandiere put a disappointing chasing debut behind her with a much better run at Roscommon where she survived a bad early blunder. She probably needs further but conditions will be in her favour. EXACTORIS, a very smart bumper and hurdles winner, makes his debut over the bigger obstacles but could prove a smart recruit and he's taken to make a successful start. Hand Of The King makes a very quick reappearance after a surprise second to the potentially useful Alto Esqua here on Tuesday and if in that kind of form would have to be considered.
