Verdict
Caridadi has come up against useful opponents without looking as though a victory was imminent but Asknotwhat was in the front rank for much of the way on his debut over hurdles at Gowran and will have come on for the experience. Holy Water has shown potential in two recent starts at Dundalk and Glance Of Doon hasn't been beaten far in any of her three runs over timber. SKILLED only had four runs for Roger Charlton before transferring to Gordon Elliott and he caught the eye on his introduction to hurdling at Navan so looks the one to be on here.
