EXTENSIO (1) landed a Roscommon maiden on his only previous hurdling start. Since made dramatic improvement on the flat and was last seen winning a valuable handicap at York. Big player. BELLE THE LIONESS (4) is a Listed-placed mare dropping to a near career-low mark. Goes well fresh so could be dangerous delivering her first start of the campaign. PRESENTING LAD (6) finished third tackling fences at Listowel seeking a four-timer. That was arguably another career-best and is rated 8lb lower hurdling. EXPOUND (11) continues to improve under both codes and cannot be underestimated.
