Verdict

MYLESFROMWICKLOW showed a good level of form in 3 starts over hurdles last season and reappears with his stable amongst the winners, so he's selected to get off the mark. Flying Fortune was successful on 2 of her 4 bumper outings and rates a good hurdle prospect for a yard that traditionally does well at this time of the year, with Push The Button another interesting contender.

  1. MYLESFROMWICKLOW (IRE)
  2. FLYING FORTUNE (IRE)
