INISHCORKER (2) Came on strongly when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Displays good tactical speed. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. KILBAKANTO (3) Made some ground when 4th last time in a hurdle at Uttoxeter and was a debutant last start. Jockey Harry Skelton adds value. Place makes best appeal.
