READ TO RETURN was a gradual improver over fences last season and proved his stamina for this trip when runner-up in a Roscommon handicap hurdle on return, so narrowly gets the nod over Ceanndana, who wasn't seen to best effect under patient tactics at Downpatrick on his chase bow. Hutchie showed much improved switching to handicaps over hurdles last time and there could be better still to come now quickly sent chasing.
