SLEEP EASY beat Deebaj by seven lengths over this track and trip in March. It should be closer between the pair on today's terms but Neil Mulholland's gelding, a three-times winner on the Flat, has the greater scope and should come out on top again. Moojaned has won five times on the level but has yet to show much aptitude for jumping. There's no guarantee that Honeymoon Cocktail will stay this far and it's more than two years since Nomadic Storm last ran over hurdles.
