An open contest in which a strong opinion isn't formed. From a handicapping perspective the most interesting horse is Dimple (also held an option in the French Furze). He has had various trainers despite the continuous presence of the black & white Armstrong silks but has demonstrated that ability lies within in Irish PTP's. Orioninverness has slowly improved over fences and is a C&D winner who now competes from a career high mark, whilst the admirable Halcyon Days is vulnerable at 2m4f. Therefore, a tentative shout is MARLEY FIRTH who admittedly must recapture the pick of his hurdles form, yet could well do so with the benefit of a recent run post wind surgery.
