OPEN SECRET, a fairly useful stayer on the Flat, makes appeal on breeding ahead of this switch to hurdling (dam half-sister to smart hurdler Parlour Games), especially having joined a top yard, so he's put forward as the answer. Eclipse Chaser failed to land the odds on last month's Kilbeggan hurdling debut but shaped with plenty of encouragement nonetheless and should have more to offer. Jacovec Cavern is still a maiden in this sphere but has the form to be a major factor.

  2. Eclipse Chaser1/1
  3. Jacovec Cavern9/2
