FIRST IMPRESSION split next-time-out winners when second back hurdling at Doncaster in December and might prove the answer to a competitive renewal of this Class 2 handicap. Ballygeary has made a good start to his handicap career and rates an obvious threat for the McCain/Hughes combination. Zanndabad didn't jump well enough on his handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse 2 months ago but his Flat ability suggests he should be up to making an impact from his mark if hurdling more fluently this time.
