    In depth

    Verdict

    Fluspar is the highest rated of those with a mark and didn't run badly in a handicap last time though he faces some potentially useful types. Tajseer has been waiting for better ground to make his hurdling debut as his best runs in bumpers were on good going while Simiel also recorded two second places on that sort of ground in summer bumpers. Both should make their presence felt while Timanora ran a bit better over the course and distance last time but has now had 16 runs over hurdles without winning. PENHILL looks the type to make a smart hurdler. Willie Mullins has acquired him from Luca Cumani where he achieved a mark of 100 after his victory in a tough Haydock handicap in September. He looks to have been found a decent opportunity to get off the mark at the first time of asking.
