Cliffside Park has the form to get competitive but he's well exposed and vulnerable to an improver. Winning bumper FILL YOUR HANDS hasn't looked straightforward over hurdles and has found ways to get beaten but his overall form should be too good for these providing Bryan Cooper can get the best out of him. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Uncle Danny has been beaten when a short price in three maiden hurdles but has the scope to do better and the conditions should enable him to get involved while Way Wild West has produced some smart performances though has also disappointed on occasions. Meadowlands was beaten in a poor contest at Kilbeggan and will need to find more.
