Verdict
Presenting Lad and Ricky Langford failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having both won their penultimate starts in handicaps. Valleyoftheeagles and BROOKIE are maiden hurdle winners with the latter preferred having finished fourth in what looked a tougher contest behind the dual winner Broomfield Bijou at Punchestown. Cash The Cheque and Sequoiaspirit have yet to win over timber but could go well.
