Eurkash is only 1-12 over fences but has placed a couple of times since the turn of the year. Winning hurdler Natty Night is probably better than he’s shown so far over the larger obstacles but Tom O'Roughley may need his first run since October. Adamhill has ground to make up on SPOTTY DOG on their latest run here and Dylan Kitts’ claim will aid the cause of the top weight, who looks a better bet than the returning Clear On Top and Furkash who is hard to catch right.
