Jarob has done very well since stepping up in trip and may find this on the short side. He also fell over fences last time and could need this to get his confidence back. See Double You alternates between hurdles and fences and is another who stays much further than this. BALLYADAM APPROACH has been chasing without much success but is well handicapped on his return to hurdles and is handed the vote at likely decent odds. Much Wants More hasn't had much experience and looks certain to do better and the lightly-raced maiden Harvey Logan is on a lowly mark on his handicap debut.
