SPECTACULARSUNRISE (2) Was a comprehensive winner by 12L last start in a hurdle at Bangor and promising career start. Should be going forward early. Been in the money each start this preparation. Can win this. BEL AMIGO (5) Faded at the finish when 2nd beaten by 11L last run in a hurdle at Carlisle and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Gets a reduction in weight. Can get the job done.
