Park Ranger has won three times on the Flat but is still a maiden after 15 starts over timber. Alfred James and Regal Athlete have very long absences to overcome but Shemshal showed plenty of potential in bumpers earlier this year and should make a hurdler. Somethingwonderful made a winning bumper debut at Galway a year ago but didn't make the expected progress, though he should do better on this quicker ground. SALAM ALAYKUM is rated 91 on the Flat after three victories and made a bright start over hurdles when staying on well behind Fantasy King at Navan last month. Conditions will suit him and he can go one better.
