This could turn out to be testing if conditions continue to worsen. That might suit the point-to-point winner HOLD THE SERVE (7) who picked up well to score at Borris House in December. Joins some top connections ahead of his debut under Rules. Consider. The one-time G1 Epsom Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY (2) is obviously the class act and a fascinating recruit to the hurdling sphere. Trains for James Owen and showed a tendency to race freely in the past. Cannot be left out of calculations based on his classy ability. GAELIC PRIDE (6) finished eighth in the G2 Champion Standard Open NH Flat Race at Aintree last season. Holds solid claims following a pleasing hurdling debut second at Fontwell. ACT OF INNOCENCE (1) might feature.
