A market check is advisable but RENARD D'IRLANDE is a likely looking candidate for this novice hurdle which will be a thorough test on heavy ground. The selection was unbeaten in soft ground bumpers in France and shaped with promise on his hurdling bow at Stratford and reappears with his yard in good form. Pateese is clearly of interest for top connections whilst Accordintolawrence shaped well in a decent bumper at Cheltenham and should be suited by the switch to hurdling. Peveril Pandora has more to prove but she once got to within four lengths of What A Friend and can improve for her reappearance at Towcester which was her first outing for this yard.
