This is for horses that have not run more than twice over hurdles so there is very little form to go on. SPENCER'S HILL was in cracking form at this time a year ago in bumpers and scored at Downpatrick on fast ground. There are no signs so far that he has taken to hurdling but he won't find many worse races. Trumph Card finished 20 lengths fifth behind Cass Bligh at Gowran in early March - not the greatest of runs but in the context of this event not a bad performance either. Winning point-to-pointer Lottoshan has shown ability in bumpers but she's another who has found problems when facing hurdles.
