    Verdict

    Killala Quay had four runs over fences last season with his best effort coming on his first try behind the useful Puffin Billy at Ascot. He should find a race or two this winter but will find this going lively enough. SOURIYAN won a maiden hurdle at Exeter last season and was thought good enough to run at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He wasn't disgraced and can take advantage of his weight-for-age allowance on his return to action here. Kylemore Lough has a much higher hurdle rating than Gurkha Brave but was pulled up in his final two starts in the spring
