Not many enter this handicap hurdle with solid form and despite racing off a mark 9lb higher than he would in Ireland, BACKINTHESADDLE has the best form on offer. It’s true you have to forgive his run at Gowran Park last time but his previous Naas third would give him a good chance. Sky Full Of Stars has yet to win a race but off a lower hurdles mark, and in first-time blinkers, he’s expected to make his presence felt. Beaumont’s Party must also enter the equation although he would need to step up on his recent Sedgefield run. 1. Backinthesaddle 2. Beaumont's Party 3. Sky Full Of Stars
