Mixed bags of pace around here, with possibly, Whenthewindblows leading the field in the early stages with Aydoun, Shramore Lady and Ballinhow Bill not far off the pace. Aydoun, third of eight on hurdling debut on Monday, here, under the same jockey, and Mountain Rock can go well, but preference is for, BIG BEN, who has a fine pedigree and can make his presence felt back from lay-off.
