LOVED OUT is given another opportunity to the confirm the promise of his hurdles debut second at Punchestown in November. The two races he has subsequently contested in this sphere have been pretty competitive and his recent effort on the Flat was encouraging. Red Ball of Fire has shaped well both starts over hurdles and is next best ahead of Hurricane Georgie, who should do better in time.
