Three-time bumper scorer FIREFOX has hurdling experience under his belt and should be spot on after an easy return victory at Down Royal last month. He is narrowly preferred to the highly exciting Ballyburn, who is ante-post favourite for the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival despite not having jumped an obstacle in public thus far. Useful Flat performer Helvic Dream adds further spice to what promises to be a highly informative contest.
