Hurricane Sky has been raised 8lb for his victory over the trip at Leopardstown on Thursday, when Annagh Haven was a long way behind, but arrives here with a 5lb penalty so has an obvious chance of completing a quick double. Wood Breizh landed a handicap hurdle over three miles on soft ground in October and was having his first subsequent start when a close third over timber at Roscommon last month so he should be ready for this BOG WAR was in tremendous form over hurdles in the spring, completing a hat-trick and his rating went up 28lb in the process. If transferring that progress to the Flat he looks thrown in here from a mark of just 63. First In The Queue is a useful hurdler at best and will be better for his recent run at Ballinrobe.
