Formscan - In a competitive contest, it may be safest to side with TAKE YOUR TIME, a winner three times over hurdles, including in this race 12 months ago off the same mark. Pulled up on his last two starts, he has had wind surgery ahead of his return and with his stable in great form, he may get back to winning ways. Cavallino is interesting on his first appearance after leaving Willie Mullins and could go well back over hurdles, along with Benny's Oscar, who didn't get past the first on his chasing debut.
