A host in with chances but it could pay to side with ST DENIS'S WELL, who went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up over fences at Fairyhouse last month. Already a winner from just 3 hurdles outings this season, Jinxs Link heads up the dangers, with Backfromtheraces, Pralognan and Maxios Prime just a handful of others worth considering, too.
