So Young was a classy hurdler in his younger days, being placed at Cheltenham and later winning in Listed and Grade 2 company. He's had his problems in recent years and is never going to fulfill that early potential but he only found one too good on his belated fencing bow at Thurles and will be backed to go one better. Exxaro will have learnt plenty from his third at Kilbeggan while former pointer I'm An Izz Wizz was having only his second start under Rules when runner-up at Downpatrick. Gordon Elliott runs two but COGRYHILL undoubtedly has more scope than Cecil Corbett. Jack Kennedy's mount is not a bad hurdler but chasing was always going to be his game and he's already won a point-to-point.
