KILBRIN ROCCO returns to hurdling from a potentially lenient mark on recent chase form and is fancied to give the McCarthy yard a second successive win in this race. Jaadil hasn’t fired this season and is ideally suited by further, but a switch to a yard with a strong record at this meeting could spark a revival. Churchwarden returns to hurdles in good heart and is also respected.
