Thyme Hill (4/6), The Cashel Man (5/2), Enrilo (8/1), Eclair Surf (16/1), Stick With Bill (20/1)
The quintet that are scheduled to face the starter all come here off the back of a win and despite the relatively small field this won’t be an easy race two win. THYME HILL has to be the choice though with his strong bumper form providing a precursor to his unbeaten hurdles record. Given his Cheltenham win he won’t fail through lack of stamina and looks hard to beat. The Cashel Man bolted up over C&D last time in a handicap when given the run of the race and he may seek to repeat those tactics although Éclair Surf also went from the front last time if there was to be a surprise he could provide it. Enrilo is also a Grade 2 winner and adds some depth to the contest.
