MAVETHERAVE showed improvement when switched to hurdles and stepping up in trip, remaining with potential despite not being seen to best effect last time at this course. Fool Me Once has shown ability with two second-place finishes at Downpatrick and returns to a more suitable trip with first-time cheekpieces. Penny Perfect stayed on well late on hurdles debut and should relish this longer distance.
