It would be significant if any market support comes for EASTMORE, who was a narrow runner-up off this mark on his penultimate hurdle start and he can run well if bouncing back to that sort of form following a break. Prince of Air has been in fine form over fences and looks interesting off a 20 lb lower mark back over hurdles, while Phoenix Cowboy has shaped as though still in form and could make more of an impact with Darragh O'Keeffe replacing his regular conditional rider.
