There was a lot to like about the debut run over hurdles posted by THE CASHEL MAN, who just found a better fancied stablemate too good in truly run race at Kempton. The gelding jumped well that day until a mistake at the last cost him dearly. He's sure to have learned from the experience and his speed from the Flat is a valuable tool to draw from in this company. Trio For Rio has a good attitude and looks the best alternative at this stage, while there should also be more to come from Bubbles Of Gold and Jones Well, who complete the shortlist.
