HEDGEINATOR (NAP) is only six and looks to have good future ahead of him. He made all and defied a last-fence error to win comfortably at Clonmel and it will take a good performance to prevent a hat-trick. Character Actor won a couple of handicaps before turning to point-to-points but he's a veteran now though his close second to Salsify at Clonmel was a fine run. Anshan Dreams won four times over hurdles but never really took to jumping fences while Dantes King, a winner between the flags at Horse and Jockey in March, lacks the scope of the selection.
