The 4-y-o VIRTUAL HUG could be the answer to what looks a wide-open race. He stepped up on his previous hurdles form when landing a Gowran maiden in October and makes his handicap debut in this sphere off a fair-looking mark, and on the back of an encouraging reappearance spin on the Flat. Shantou Warrior is feared most following his Tramore success, but Listentillitellyea, who has been knocking on the door of late, is also high on the shortlist.
