Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |

All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground. |

Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold. |

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but he won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May before a creditable third at Uttoxeter 11 days ago; did well to hang in there after being pestered for the lead last time and he's been an improved performer since switched to fences; respected. |

Lightly raced on AW in Ireland but he has improved significantly since blinkers were added, most recently running away with a 1m handicap at Dundalk in January (taking him to 3-3 in headgear); no issue with the longer trip (won over 1m4f on penultimate start) but a 13lb rise for last time (raised a total of 28lb for the three wins), allied to significantly stronger opposition, could leave him vulnerable; his tendency to hang sharply right won't be an asset here either. |

Verdict
Smart hurdler Party Central brings an element of intrigue to this maiden and she should make her presence felt. However, MOST WANTED has to be of strong interest after his third at Leopardstown in a race that’s worked out well. Esculenta had flashes of very good form for Johnny Murtagh and should also be in the mix, along with likely improver Riverina Charm.[Alistair Jones]
