Neither of the two with previous hurdling experience have managed to complete so the newcomers should hold sway. Joseph O'Brien's BIRTHPLACE looks a likely sort as he won twice on the Flat in the spring and was though good enough to take his chance in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot in June. Three Majors landed a Leopardstown handicap last month but his stamina will have to be taken on trust. Windsorlot may do better now going jumping, however, and a similar comment applies to Dodgybingo who won a small race at Dundalk in November and has been keeping decent company on the level this year.
