TIMEFORM VIEW Went the wrong way in bumpers but made a promising hurdling debut when second in 11-runner maiden at Sligo (17.6f, good, 33/1) 49 days ago collared close home Should improve and has outstanding claims.

PARK ANNONCIADE got his career firmly back on track sent hurdling when nabbed by a stronger stayer right at the death at Sligo in June and this is an excellent opportunity for him to go one better Ve Day is the obvious one to follow him home
