Dean of Devon (IRE) looks the most reliable of this field of dubious hurdlers. Still to get this head in front but could play a leading role here. Spike Cooney will need to put a poor run behind him but has the experience to run well.Tirley Storm is an unexposed type who could run a big race in this field.
