Conor Stone-Walsh had an outstanding season on the Flat and has already made his mark over timber. He's been booked for BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY (NAP), a winner over hurdles at Clonmel in May and fences here last month before a bad mistake put paid to his chances back over timber last time. Time Marches On hadn't shown much before defying a last-fence error to score at Cork and there should be more to come. Neveradullmoment won a handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival and makes his handicap debut over fences after showing potential in beginners' events while Ricky Langford won twice over hurdles during the summer and has been a close third in his last two starts over fences.
