Verdict

TARANIS DUBH, a winner of his sole outing in Irish points, shaped well when third in a Newton Abbot bumper last month and with that run likely to have brought him on, he's very much of interest on this switch to hurdling. Wings of Ayrton has joined a top yard after finding only one too good on his sole start between the flags, while So Proud is entitled to build on his opening effort in this sphere at Newcastle.
