Verdict
Joshua Webb won a bumper here in November and was only narrowly beaten on a return visit over hurdles a month later, though that was over 2m4f. Abyssinian, twice a winner on the Flat, started off over hurdles with a very good run at Killarney but has run poorly subsequently. Hollow Sound won a bumper at Galway and has come up against smart opposition in similar races and should make a decent hurdler but it's about time JUNGLE JUNCTION was winning. He was beaten two lengths by Joshua Webb in that bumper here but has taken well to hurdling and he should be better suited by this trip than his rival.
