Urano only won once in eleven starts over hurdles before sent chasing where he's done a little better, landing a Listed contest at Wexford in October. He's been racing in strong company but will do well to concede weight all round. VICTORY MILL landed a point-to-point and a maiden hurdle before just failing to concede 3lb to the progressive Last Goodbye at Navan. That was a very good effort and he's handed the vote though Nine Stitches will love the heavy ground and could hardly have won more convincingly at Thurles last month. Dont Tell No One landed a bumper and a maiden hurdle before finding Grade 3 company just beyond him over slightly further here a fortnight ago so he's expected to go well while Cliffside Park has won and finished second in his two visits to the track.
