Lake Return has yet to win over hurdles in 17 starts and his recent improvement has been over shorter trips. Coosan Belle is another long-time maiden though there's no doubt she showed improved form at Cork earlier this month. Back Of The Pack won a Grade 3 novice chase in October and is rated 134 over fences. He's on an incredible 39lb lower mark over timber so must be a threat to all though it's STREET RUNNER who gets the nod. Sean Thornton's five-year-old brought his stamina into play when scoring over 2m7f at Downpatrick and can take this from just 4lb higher. Minella Special, who finished third that day, could get closer without quite matching the winner.
