WA WA (NAP) was returning to hurdles on a 35lb lower mark than over fences at Gowran. Though beaten six lengths, things didn't go his way and he can gain consolation. Hard Rain is still a maiden but returned after a break to be beaten narrowly at Gowran last month so should be ready for this. I Am Spider Man was sent to Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago and duly obliged for his first success. There should be more to come and Philip Byrnes' claim will again be a plus. Huit Reflets showed nothing as a juvenile but it was a different matter on his handicap debut on heavy ground at Gowran in March when beaten half-a-length. That was his first start for eight months so another long absence shouldn't be a problem while Hackworthy Flyer made a bold bid to make all on her reappearance at Clonmel.
