Verdict

TITANIUM displayed smart form when landing a big-field handicap at the Curragh and could be well treated on handicap hurdle debut. Sheriffhill is returning to form and the first-time tongue strap plus drop in trip should suit. En Or showed useful form when runner-up in a maiden hurdle last December and may appreciate returning to obstacles.
