ARQOOB made an encouraging stable/hurdle debut when runner-up at this C&D in January and he can get back on track returned to this venue The 5-y-o sets the standard in this line-up and can open his hurdles account at the third attempt, with Aristobulus the main danger after showing promise on his hurdling bow. Boreen Boy is the pick of the remainder
