Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle (Qualifier)
2m 7f
Going: Yielding (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneEDISON KENT has yet to prove his stamina for three miles but he looks on a good mark after finishing second to Tullybeg at Navan in September. The winner won off 130 next time and the third, Bardenstown Lad, scored at Cheltenham last month so Jessica Harrington's 5-year-old has good claims if seeing out this longer trip in first-time headgear. De Name Escapes Me was third to Flooring Porter the last time he was tried over this distance and, after running well on the Flat at Naas recently, it would be no surprise to see him go well. Dour stayer Thunderosa was fourth to in-form First Touch on his comeback at Clonmel but can turn around that form with the run under his belt while Whatsnotoknow bumped into a very progressive winner over 2m4f here last month. Cheltenham fourth Calagogo may be the best of Gordon Elliott's septet but talented Troytown Chase winner The Jam Man may need this first run in nine months.
