Irish raider HOLY JOE (1) recovered from an early Downpatrick exit to land a 3300m Clonmel maiden hurdle by 3.25L last time. Managed to take command two out and stayed on strongly. Sets the standard. L'AMALRIC (2) made all to win over 3200m at Worcester by 1.75L before finishing third at Uttoxeter. Main danger. DOLLY DIOR (3) showed determination to score by a neck tackling 4000m at Hexham most recently after pressing on before the last. Proven stamina commands respect. Makes appeal. MOI MON VIEUX (4) finished 3L second in a Southwell jumpers flat delivering British debut after leading inside the final 200m. Switch to hurdles offers further scope. Not discounted.
