Duke Of Kilcorral has been placed over timber on several occasions but has had plenty of chances and it could pay to look elsewhere. Mcnamaras Band won a bumper at Worcester last year and could go well along with Viva Vittoria, placed in a bumper here back in March. Nativegetaway was a well beaten third on last month’s hurdling debut and will likely finish closer but a chance is taken on EASYRUN DE VASSY. He won a couple of Irish point-to-points before fetching £105,000 at the sales and the half-brother to winning hurdlers in France could go close on his debut under Rules representing Paul Nicholls.
