Ask Nile has run well all three starts over hurdles thus far and will likely do well again here but may settle for minor honours. Moroval made a good start to this game in December at Limerick and will likely appreciate the slightly better ground forecast for a trainer in flying form but BERRY DES AULMES also ran a solid race at Tramore last time and gets the nod to score here having been dropped in trip. Mr Champers is worth a look as he switches from bumpers to hurdles having run with promise thus far while newcomer The Way It Is should be monitored in the market for a trainer that has done well in this sphere of late. 1.
