HOUSE RULES is comfortably the pick of those with hurdling form and this winning bumper can gain his first success over timber after a fine run behind Hidden Universe at Leopardstown over Xmas. Dual winning bumper Greenbelt Star looks a big threat on his debut over obstacles as he's been in fine form on the Flat recently and is with the right yard to bring out his hurdling potential. UK import Sir Walter Raleigh should have come on for his two runs over timber where his jumping has left something to be desired while the lightly-raced Pink Coat made a reasonable start over hurdles at Limerick and is the type to do much better.
