Placed both starts in bumpers, but well held both completed starts over hurdles, including for new yard on recent return from a break. Hooded first time.

Signs of ability but likely he's more one for handicaps after this. Has first outing beyond 2m here.

5/4
Lots of promise when runner-up in novice events on first 2 starts (including C&D). Folded tamely when remote second latest but he still looks the one to beat here.

Fifth in 2 bumpers before finishing runner-up on C&D hurdle debut (good to soft) 15 days ago. The obvious danger to Hurling Magic.

Point winner but she has offered little in 4 runs over hurdles this year.

Forecasts

In Our Dreams (11/10), Hurling Magic (5/4), Francolin (7/1), Bob Pebble (25/1), Ingeborg Zilling (40/1), Malvolio (66/1), Smartmandarcy (80/1), Hedgebird (80/1)

Verdict

HURLING MAGIC isn't one for maximum faith after his rather tame short-priced defeat last time but he'll still take a bit of stopping here if recapturing anything like the level of his penultimate C&D second. In Our Dreams is the obvious danger.
