Angels Breath represents last year's winning stable and is clearly held in some regard after bolting up in an Irish point-to-point in the spring, He could well be capable of making a winning hurdling debut, but this is a tough enough starter for him and in THOMAS DARBY he meets a solid yardstick who looks likely to carry on his progression. Danny Kirwan has a big reputation, but needs to step up on his debut display over timber, while others to consider are Champagne Court, Encore Champs, Thistle Do Nicely, Seddon and useful Flat performer Garbanzo.
