BELIEVE JACK, a fair lightly-raced maiden on the Flat, is in good hands and looks to have been found a decent opening on hurdle debut, so is given the vote. Huit Reflets ran to just a poor level in a Killarney bumper but is clearly thought capable of better, while Red Ball of Fire is another recruit from the Flat who makes appeal on this switch to hurdling.
