Improved albeit in a race which completely fell apart when winning a novice hurdle here by 24l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; conceding weight all round might be tricky.

Verdict

TIMELESS TREATY scored in style here and can follow up under top weight. Despite appearing exposed in handicaps earlier this season, he bolted up a fortnight ago and could now progress a little further. Parnell Street has bumped into some smart performers and may prove to be slightly better than his 123 rating, so should give the selection a race as he receives 6lb. The same can be said for Open Secret, who was a commendable fourth in a Cheltenham Grade 2. Bon Viveur comes here on a retrieval mission following his disappointing Navan effort.

Top Tip: Timeless Treaty (1)
Watch out for: Parnell Street (4)

Expert View Verdict

Timeless Treaty ended up an easy winner over C&D last time but the race rather fell apart and he now must concede weight all round. Let's instead side with his stablemate OPEN SECRET, a Naas maiden hurdle winner who is coming off an improved effort when fourth in a Grade 2 event at Cheltenham. He's a strong stayer who can win this en route to a good handicap in the spring. Parnell Street has solid claims also, having bumped into a smart stablemate of the two already mentioned at Punchestown last time. He's consistent and handles the conditions.
