Dry Your Eyes was second at Perth last month but disappointing when well beaten at Wetherby subsequently. Moving Waves, on a winner on the Fibresand recently, wasn't disgraced when third at Ludlow and must go on the short-list while Isabella Liberty won on the Flat in France and looks the pick of Robert Eddery's pair. Kevin Ryan doesn't run many over hurdles so has obviously seen something in KEEP TO THE BEAT. She stayed 1m4f on the level so should be thereabouts if her jumping holds up.
