Verdict
Thosedaysaregone finished runner-up at Listowel and started a short-priced favourite when sent to Sedgefield but his saddle slipped and he had to be pulled up. School Boy Hours made a promising start over the minimum at Navan in March then fell when there with a chance when tackling 3m at Cork so he's definitely on the shortlist. Borderline Chatho, a winning bumper, found the trip too short at Down Royal in June and should do better over this distance but this can go to DALLAS DES PICTONS. Gordon Elliott's charge won two minor bumpers in France earlier this year and looks to have been found a reasonably easy task to make a successful hurdling debut.
