AERLITE SUPREME is rated 135 over hurdles and has won three times. He appeared on the upgrade when last seen in the spring and has always had the stamp of a chaser so can make a successful debut. Mister Hotelier is rated just 4lb lower than the selection over timber and has the advantage of chasing experience so he has to be a threat, especially after a very good run behind Aranhill Chief at Galway. The five-year-old Federici has potential but will need to raise his game against the two principals but dual hurdles winner Rightville Boy will have benefited from his opening run over fences at Killarney.
