FormscanBy Stuart Howden - A wide-open rated novice hurdle with plenty of quality on offer, but the vote goes to BUTCH COOLIDGE (4). The son of Walk In The Park, out of the high-class Solerina, was a determined winner at Tramore at the end of May before failing to build on that effort when making too much use of himself on his latest start. If that run is forgiven, he looks capable of bouncing back. Playtime brings strong and consistent form into the race, while Gordon Elliott's Lemme Caution is improving with experience. Willie Mullins' Surfin Usa also merits respect after relishing the step up in trip last time.
