NOW IS THE HOUR was useful over hurdles and showed plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Cork on chasing debut so, while he's likely to be suited by a return to further, he should have enough to get away with it. Pinkerton has actually achieved the most over fences to this point, so he's feared along with Fortunedefortunata.
