Banker Burke was only moderate on the Flat but hasn't been beaten far in both starts over hurdles and should find a small race soon. After a very bright start over hurdles with three placed efforts to his credit, Halling's Treasure has become disappointing and has been a beaten favourite on his last two starts. Westerner Point didn't manage a victory between the flags but made a promising start in bumpers behind Bay Sly at Wexford and should be much more at home over timber. The French-bred ANGE D'OR JAVILEX hasn't done as well as expected in bumpers but his pedigree is all about jumping and now he's tackling hurdles he can start making the necessary progress to land this.
