Formwatch
It Takes Time (IRE) Progressive hurdler last term winning all three starts (two novice events and a handicap); will relish the conditions and still has further improvement to come; will prove hard to beat.
Bullfinch C&D winner in June (now 2lb higher); this looks tougher after four-months absence.
Sea Ferry (IRE) Well placed to win two novice events from three starts last term; may progress further; make handicap debut.
Tiger Grass (IRE) Out of form of late.
