FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Barry Connell didn't have his badges when HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE debuted for interim manager Keith Clarke in 2018 and today the gelding can defy top weight, returning to hurdles. His hurdles runs, with Clarke in the dugout, were poor but he improved vastly over fences this year and is rated 23lbs higher over fences than today's 102 hurdle rating. He is probably a better chaser but today's extra distance and thus extra jumping may suit. Ragin Cajun is an obvious danger as he was the well backed winner on his return, and debut for a new yard, following a 625 days absence at Down Royal in October. He has been penalised 13lbs for that win but looks sure to get involved today. Warreedy's trainer is another worthy of high praise as he defied a four-year absence when winning three times this year. His hurdle mark has now risen to 97 while a rising 12yo, somehow remains a little unexposed. Ardhill, a 62,000Gbp point-to-point purchase, showed some improvement when third at Limerick last month and can get involved. Glenabo Bridge, Vue En Seine, Nicole's Milan and Mystic Embarr are all able at the grade and come here in good form.%0A%0A
