DARRENS HOPE has had nine starts over fences and been placed in six including at Grade 2/3 level and the Leinster National. He looks vulnerable to an improver though this looks a good opportunity. Wall Of Fame won over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January and performed well in heavy conditions on his chasing debut at Gowran so has to be a threat. Siberian Prince has never won but hasn't performed badly and could go well if his jumping problems have been ironed out. Winning hurdler Heroes Of Renown is another who needs to brush up his jumping but Quirt Evans completed a hurdles double on good going last summer and is one to note on chasing debut.
