Verdict
Howaya C D And E ran well when runner-up over fences at Tramore but finished last when reverting to hurdles here last time. GLADIATORIAL was disputing the lead when falling at the last at Perth on just his second start over fences and has been narrowly beaten in two starts over hurdles on this track subsequently. Silver King has shown plenty of potential over timber and has a chaser's pedigree while Jenny Flex was conceding a stone to the winner when runner-up over fences at Sligo.
