FormscanBy Michael Graham - There isn't a lot of depth to this race and perhaps HEARTS AND SPADES can take advantage of that. He has one notable run in the book when fourth behind a more than useful horse in a Navan maiden hurdle. His rating of 105 entitles him to be heavily involved. Colonel Nelson is one to consider after banking fourth places on hurdle debut at Punchestown and in a bumper at Clonmel. Solsbury Hill ran a fair race in seventh over a shorter trip at this racecourse last month and he can improve upon that. There is likely more to come from Hills Of Glory, while Interchangeable could get in the mix.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting THAT AT ENTRY HAVE RUN AT LEAST THREE TIMES UNDER ANY N.H. RULES AND THAT AT DECLARATION HAVE NOT BEEN PLACED FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD UNDER ANY N.H. RULES OR RULES OF RACING
