Pomerol George has placed in an Irish point-to-point and a bumper but is returning from a lengthy absence. Third in a Listed bumper at Newbury in February on only his second start for Toby Lawes, BALLYGLASS could be hard to beat in this if translating that form to hurdling though Prairie Wolf did win a couple of bumpers last season and ended up running in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April. Alnitak, third at Newton Abbot last month, and Ya Know Yaseff look the pick of those with hurdling experience.
