Verdict
De Plotting Shed reverts to hurdles after a very disappointing spell over fences where he failed to win in nine starts. He would have an obvious chance if he returned to his best form over timber. Canardier won a maiden over 2m here in May and is taking a big step-up in trip though gives every indication of staying. WOODLAND OPERA had mainly been chasing before reverting to hurdles with a fine victory over this trip at Kilbeggan so he's taken to go in again though Peregrine Run, yet another who has been operating over the bigger obstacles, was a very smart hurdler in his day.
