CHARMING STAR, a lightly-raced winner on the Flat, showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Naas in January and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Welcome Back and Shahbaz are a pair of interesting hurdling newcomers who need monitoring closely in the betting.
