It would be no surprise to see bumper winner Red Tiger run much better back down in distance after disappointing on his recent hurdling debut and Lean Times has to come into the reckoning after going so close on his latest start over C&D. Oscars Well could also make his presence felt but MACKEYS FORGE can take this opportunity to open his account over hurdles. The winner of a NH Flat race back in May, Dessie Hughes' charge made a favourable impression when beaten only a couple of lengths over 2m here on his first start over timber last month and should prove suited by today's extra distance.
