TROUBLED TIMES was successful on debut in a bumper during the spring and she gets the nod here on the back of a promising hurdles bow at Tipperary. Next on the list is Rebel Rose, who also landed a bumper and has finished in the money on four of her five starts since switched to this sphere. There were positives to glean from No Trouble's first start over timber at Down Royal and he makes some each-way appeal, a remark which also applies to Allbetsoff.
