A degree of guesswork is involved here as only Inflagrante, second here two weeks ago, and Knockanore have hurdling experience. Park This One has won a point and a bumper which suggests he should make a hurdler. Horizon D'Or makes his debut under Rules but Awaythelad was almost 14 lengths behind CLIFTON BRIDGE (NAP) in a bumper at Exeter last December. The latter will be expected to pay his way in this sphere and Tango Arumba and Hourvari are other interesting recruits to the hurdling ranks.
