IVAR made an encouraging British debut after nearly a year off when runner-up at Bangor last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Ruby Island has laid a solid foundation for hurdling in bumpers and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Thistle Ask, who probably needed the run on his recent stable debut at Newcastle.
