In depth

Verdict

Dream Champion is likely to find this on the short side as his last success over timber came over three miles at Bellewstown. Red Key was in very good form last summer and is still on a fair mark though she hasn't been seen since September and this is a tough heat. ECHO BOB has reverted to hurdling on a very fair mark and though only runner-up when fancied at Cork last month is taken to go one better. Captain Paulie makes his handicap debut after beating a big field of maidens at Navan and is progressing well enough to make his presence felt.
