That was a big run in defeat from KINGS HILL at Leopardstown last time and if he improves again he should have a great chance of taking this. He finished fourth at 50/1 behind No Flies On Him, D B Cooper and Ascending so that is obviously really good form. He is open to improvement on just his third start and looks the one to beat in this maiden hurdle. Cappucino also shaped with encouragement on hurdles debut at Tramore and looks the danger.

Ten Sovereigns filly QUEEN OF ZAFEEN impressed winning on debut for Richard Hughes and with that form franked since I think she can make it 2-2 here. She only won by a short head at Southwell but always seemed to be doing enough at the finish. The runner-up Solomon has won impressively since and even the sixth Amiwithani has won twice since so it stacks up. She should be hard to beat. Kinako Mochi looks the main threat after an encouraging debut second.
