This is not as interesting as the first division. Exclusive Getaway was second to a subsequent winner at Warwick in May but started at 100/1 on his reappearance at Bangor and finished tailed off. Bitsnbuckles placed in a point but was well beaten on his only run in a bumper and Havock wasn’t exactly progressive in that sphere. TOONAGH WARRIOR will likely need further in time but was third over this trip at Kilbeggan and Fergus Gillard takes off 3lb. I Got Stung hasn’t threatened in two hurdle runs so far but may be capable of better.
