Of those with hurdling experience, only Solaras Exhibition has looked like winning. He finished second on a couple of occasions in Ireland last year and has his first start for a new yard on his return. Stablemate Private Story should also go well but DONATORIO won't have to be anything special to take this on his debut over timber. He scored twice on the Flat for Andre Fabre last year so John Ferguson's French import gets the vote. Bumper winner Wordy's Boy should have come on for his hurdling debut as that was his first run after nearly two years off the track, while Tealissio is worth noting on his hurdling bow.
