Tinas Exhibition hasn't been beaten far in any of her last three starts over timber, all in decent company, and she sets the standard of those with experience. Kristal Komet didn't show much on the level but made a bright start over hurdles when a close third behind Apache Drums at Navan and will have benefited from the experience. Peccatorum showed considerable improvement from his opening efforts to finish a very close third behind Fearless Falcon at Thurles in October and further progress would see him in the shake-up but this looks destined for a newcomer with both Wealdmore Wave and TILLAHOW potentially decent hurdlers. The former reappeared after a very long absence to be beaten a short-head in a mile handicap at the Curragh in May and has had only two runs subsequently but it's the latter who gets the vote as he easily beat a field of maidens over 1m4f at Leopardstown in July on his third and latest start.
