CAUSEY ARCH proved a disappointment last time out but he can put that behind him with a victory in this novice hurdle. The selection has run well on good-to-soft ground on the Flat and he can get the better of Heroesandvillains who comes into this contest on the back of a recent maiden hurdle success. Uisce Beatha another to have won in maiden company last time out can finish third in this contest.
