Rebecca Curtis is a trainer I have a lot of time for, and she may well have found an excellent opportunity for Boultydoolin to win for the first time over hurdles at the second attempt.
A point-to-point winner at Quakerstown in Ireland last November, and sold on for £95,000, he had his first start under rules at Newbury over two and half miles in a Class Three where he was beaten four lengths by Swindon Village, rallying late on after being outpaced at an important stage of the race.
Stamina appears to be his strong suit, suggesting the step up to close to three miles here should suit, with a clear round hopefully seeing the six-year-old home in front.
