DYLAN ROSS was a very useful hurdler before turning to fences where he did well. He's been freshened up for a summer campaign and should prove too good for these. Time To Work has won twice on the Flat and over hurdles at Down Royal in March but Thegondolier hasn't done as well as expected and has a long absence to overcome. The remainder will need to find plenty of improvement to get involved.
