Hubrisko's hurdling victory came on good ground but he did well to finish third on his chasing bow behind Maxxum at Tipperary as he made numerous mistakes. The winner's yard is represented by SALVADOR ZIGGY, who completed a four-timer over timber on good going last summer and finished runner-up in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March. The latter looks the one to beat as the front-running Caesar Rock will need things to go his way against a couple of potential useful chasers. Riggs looks best of the remainder.
