Irish raider STREAMTOWN scored over hurdles at Sedgefield in March and has made a bright start over fences, scoring well at Downpatrick last month. He fell while still in contention in the race won by Groody Hill at Wexford last time and the winner has given the form a major boost subsequently. Rossini's Dancer has found it difficult after landing two novices' handicaps earlier this year but is consistent enough to make his presence felt. Currahee ran poorly from this mark when last seen in June and San Deng, who has run only twice over fences, may need more experience. Ngong Hills is steadily returning to form after a very long break but wouldn't want any more rain as he's a fast-ground specialist.
