Few of these arrive in any kind of form, though Guanciale can be forgiven a recent run over fences as he was badly hampered and his rider had no option but to pull him up. Triggywinkle was second over fences here last time but is making her hurdling debut at the age of eight. MOOJANED hasn’t raced over hurdles for more than 12 months but was a fair third on the Flat last month on his first start for new connections and may have turned a corner. Karl Marx, Billy My Boy and Tricky could also get involved but Bistouri D'honore looks a risky proposition at present.
