A big field to contend with now as 28 runners go to post for a wide open handicap hurdle but ARKENDALE gets the nod over L'Oiseau De Feu and Granaruid. The selection has plenty of form on quick ground but has recently being applying his trade over the larger obstacles. The return to hurdles may help on a course he has won on. L'Oiseau De Feu should enjoy today's track after not looking in love with Sligo and Tramore on his recent starts. He has plenty of form on soft ground but good safe ground should be fine and the under rated Mark Walsh takes the ride. Granaruid is another horse that will enjoy today's firmer surface. He had his first start at Tipperary 27 days ago and is entitled to improve for the run. King High was second over fences on his latest start and is interesting now reverting to hurdles. Others to note are Lottoshan and Doransfirth.
