STRANGE NOTIONS has the best form of this rag-tag bunch and a repeat of her recent handicap run at Leopardstown where she finished a respectable 5th or 27 could see her leading home her rivals and landing a deserved first victory. She already has three placed efforts in hurdle races to her name. Onlyhuman will no doubt be popular in the betting ring given connections. The seven-year-old has the best Flat form of those on show and if he can translate that to hurdles then he is capable of getting the better of his rivals. Optum needs to brush up on his hurdling but showed enough on his latest start to suggest he would be capable of winning a maiden hurdle.
