Sir Harry Cool was in the process of running a big race last time but we'll take a chance with hurdling debutant, Dover's Hill. The selection showed a smart level of form in bumpers, only finishing out of the frame once in his four outings and that was in a Grade 2 contest where he was beaten under seven lengths. His ability to jump a hurdle has to be taken on trust but this trip should provide him with an adequate test and his small yard is capable of readying one. Sir Harry Cool faces very different ground than he did last time but he should handle it and he was in the process of laying down a challenge to the winner when stumbling and slipping up at Fontwell. No Panic is another with some useful bumper form to his name whilst Irish raider Rolling Wave contested the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown on his penultimate start and should be all the better for his hurdling bow. An interesting heat in which we'll take a chance with Dover's Hill.
