Highly competitive but it could pay to take a chance on METAMORPHEUS who has shaped well on both starts over fences recently and returns to hurdles having contested a couple of races at Galway when last seen in this sphere. Paul's Dream makes plenty of appeal if her jumping holds up, having won at Wexford before finishing second at Kilbeggan, while Ifitwasme won this race on softer ground last year and remains one to be interested in despite a disappointing recent Flat run.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Wardens Whisper and Targa Flavio could be the most susceptible in a race in which competition for the lead looks plentiful: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Paul's Dream and Ifitwasme who can be expected to be ridden with restraint.
Individual Price Hint: Aclass traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Lenjoleur De Palma traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
