It will be interesting to see if there is any money for Red Devil Boys back over hurdles. Prairie Town popped up in this grade at Sandown earlier in the month and is only 5lb higher. Harvey's Hope goes well here and has been in good form on the Flat lately while Boruma ran his best race for a while last month at Carlisle. Huff And Puff could be very interesting if anywhere near his best but has had his problems over the last couple of years. HANNAH'S PRINCESS won over track and trip in February and was then second in a valuable mares' handicap at Newbury, where she travelled strongly throughout. Far from disgraced at Punchestown later, Warren Greatrex' mare can make a winning reappearance on ground that will suit.
