Safely held in handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m6f) on first three starts for Gordon Elliott but wasn't beaten far when fifth here (2m4f, good) on recent chasing debut and might build on that performance now back over hurdles and tried over 3m. |

Some early promise over hurdles but she's struggled in handicaps in that sphere and was pulled up at Down Royal (2m4f) in March; has not been with Gordon Elliott for long and this return to quicker ground could help but she needs a major revival on this switch to fences. |

Inconsistent winter over hurdles for Liz Lalor either side of a huge task in a Graded mares' novice chase; out of a useful 2m2f-2m4f chaser so some hope in this sphere, if maybe not over this far; stable bow. |

First reserve; well beaten in two handicaps and isn't easy to fancy; being raised in trip with blinkers added may help. |
Verdict
Colin McBratney has a trio of interesting contenders; namely Journey West, Golas Tiep and Cocoplum. Market strength behind any of them would be of significance. However, SPEED GANG was in the process of running a belter on chasing debut when falling at Tramore last time and can improve from that to get off the mark returned to hurdles.
