A moderate maiden hurdle. SMOOTH SCOTCH (10) finished a solid runner-up in a soft-ground maiden hurdle at Navan fifteen days ago and with the addition of first-time cheekpieces warrants thought. It is hard to ignore the claims of ST CUTHBERT’S CAVE (12) who found the frame in maiden hurdles past three outings and could be in the mix after a fair effort at Cork last month. BUTCHER HOLLOW (2) is the other maintaining solid form after finishing one spot behind the top selection at Navan in latest. SPEEDY BOX (11) requires a second look in the betting.
