Verdict
KING OF THE REFS never won over hurdles and has had six runs over fences without scoring but his overall form is better than that of these rivals and he can finally get off the mark. Lough Roe Lady made a promising debut over fences in what looked a decent contest at Kilbeggan and with progress likely she looks the main threat. Hevelius and Hansupfordetroit were both a long way behind Burn And Turn here earlier this month and will need to find more. Chasing newcomer Whats Happening is one to keep an eye on though he ran poorly on his latest start over hurdles in March.
