The pace in this contest should come from Vermeulen and English Pale. There are quite a few you can immediately put a line through, which leaves the likes of Artiste Celebre and Skeaping to fight for the places, while the winner can come from between Billy's Angel, beaten 7L in Gowran Park 2m maiden hurdle, last month and SPIN A YARN, encouraging third of 16, in Roscommon extended 2m maiden hurdle when last seen.
