FormscanBy Gary Carson - ROYAL HOLLOW has really blossomed over hurdles and could prove hard to peg back here. The Beat Hollow filly has been allowed to stride along in front on her last two runs and has been impressive. Cian Quirke takes a useful 5lb off her back again. Lot of Joy is the obvious danger in the field as she switches back to hurdling. The Camelot mare was highly tried over timber a couple of seasons ago, including when mid-division in Grade 1 company. She hasn't run over hurdles since an outing at Galway last year. Calico is back over hurdles on her return to action and is another to consider with Tom Harney taking 7lb off.
