Hearts Are Trumps (13/8), Gallant John Joe (4/1), Mister Blue Sky (4/1), Advantage Point (4/1), Chosen Mate (6/1), Filon D'Oudairies (7/1), Thunder Down Under (12/1), Retribution (20/1)
Tough to draw a line through any of these and it should prove competitive. Hardened handicapper Hearts Are Trumps needs plenty respect on these terms and will surely run a big race, while recent C&D Grade 2 scorer Chosen Mate is on the upgrade and merits consideration, despite giving away weight. Both may give best to the promising Flat recruit MISTER BLUE SKY, an easy winner on hurdles bow at Wexford in the autumn for Willie Mullins and seemingly capable of a good deal more. Likewise, it is noted that Gordon Elliott fires once-race bumper winner Thunder Down Under into Listed company on his hurdles introduction.
