Denis Hogan is making a name for himself with the placing of his horses and looks to have found another opportunity for KALELLSHAN. A winner twice over hurdles at last year's Galway Festival, he returned there to make all last month, earning himself a massive rise in the ratings as a result. He's back over fences on a 13lb lower mark and can complete the double. Sean Airgead has been going well in the UK but is better handicapped over hurdles and Glenstar looks more of a threat after beating Gimli's Rock at Tramore despite making several mistakes. Torphichen is a classy performer at his best but has had a break since a poor run over hurdles at Aintree in May and could just need the run but Kotkidy returned from a spell in France to run well behind Great Oak at Tipperary.
