HOLLOW TREE looks the one to be on after a promising showing last time at this track, that was a third start back after a significant layoff and so there shouldn't be any worries over a reaction. Rue Hill finished ahead of the selection at Gowran Park on his most recent run but, given his overall profile and that he is clearly tough to train, it would be better to see him backing that effort up before wading in to support. If Raz De Maree is able to replicate recent chase form now tackling these obstacles, he has a major say in this on ratings while Nerual ran well enough on handicap debut to warrant consideration having gone up just the minimum since. Plain Talking ought to find these waters less choppy after some tough races in the autumn and isn't ruled out despite carrying top weight.
