SAGREDO was rated in the mid-70's on the flat and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles. Mister Matt was tried in farily illustrious company last time out and he will welcome the opportunity to drop back to a more realistic level. Carrig An Uisce has won before in headgear so he can be anticipated to improve for the application of cheek pieces. Denton Ryal took part in a race that descended into farce on account of all the removed hurdles and it can be safe to ignore that form. Al Amaan has been quickly despatched from the Paul Nicholls stable whilst Just Beware is fresh from victory at his favoured track of Plumpton.
