PARK RANGER has won three times on the Flat and finished runner-up three times over hurdles. He would prefer some rain but his overall form looks too strong for these rivals. God's County has generally performed at a higher level than this over timber and has a couple of strong efforts to his credit but he's beginning to look expensive to follow after 10 runs without winning. Knockaunroe showed a bit more dash on his hurdling debut at Gowran and should improve while winning point-to-pointer Mrs Henderson has shown ability in bumpers and there's no reason why she shouldn't make a hurdler.
