Most of these are out of form and ridden by inexperienced pilots. Rose's In The Rain has been beaten a long way in three maidens and makes her handicap debut while dual Flat winner Punches Pious has yet to reach the frame in six outings over hurdles. THE BALLYBOYS (NAP) stays a bit further than this having won twice over 2m3f on testing ground. His last two runs have been over fences but this looks a very good opportunity to return to winning ways. Hughies Bay has a career record of 0-32 but would have a chance on his close second over this track and trip in October. Popping Along last won a race at Aintree in 2016 and was beaten a distance on his return to hurdling at Punchestown last month.
