Verdict

The vote goes to HELLO NEIGHBOUR, who was a winner of his two starts in this sphere last season and he has subsequently made up into a smart hurdler. The 4-y-o remains open to improvement returned to the Flat and gets the nod ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained Hipop de Loire and Purple Lily.

3	Useful jumps winner. 4¾ lengths third of 12 to Lulamba in Champion Juvenile Hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 13/2) 59 days ago. 2-2 in this sphere and it would be no surprise to see him take a hand in the finish now tried in a handicap. 1st Pick 3 Hello Neighbour (Ire) Jockey: G.

4	Promising individual. 8/1, fifth of 20 in handicap at York (13.8f, good to firm) on UK flat debut, finishing with running left. Off 10 months, but he's in goods hands, is open to progress and the booking of Colin Keane add to his appeal. 2nd Pick 4 Hipop De Loire (Fr) Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: C.

9	Useful filly. 2/1, creditable length third of 9 to Hanalia in Blandford Stakes at the Curragh (10f, good), needing stronger gallop. Off 9 months. Yard in good form.
