Running Times (USA) Couple of good efforts since switched to Martin Pipe's stable from Tim Easterby; obvious chance but has a 6lb penalty to overcome for a comfortable hurdles win at Sedgefield in May and has a little to prove at this trip.
Indeed To Goodness (IRE) Wouldn't appear to have as much scope as some of the others and may be found out by his penalty in this company.
Beamish (IRE) Hard to fancy after a long absence and is best watched on his first run for his new stable.
High Cotton (IRE) Another coming back after a lay-off but has shown plenty of ability in his outings so far. Good chance if fit.
Master Ginger Pop Too many questions to answer at present to be a serious consideration today and will need to improve vastly on what he has achieved so far to figure.
Tino (IRE) The only thing in his favour is that he has at least raced on a right-handed course, passed over at present.
Un Jour A Vassy (FR) Winner of three chases last season and he has gone well fresh in the past so not without a chance. However, his form over hurdles has been a little short of the mark so he is not one to place too much faith in over timber.
I Move Earth Stable flying at present but Un Jour A Vassy looks to be their better fancied runner here and she may be one to to view from a distance on her hurdles bow..
