QuinnBet Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle

OUTSIDE THE DOOR is the clear starting point on our figures, dropping back to hurdles off a considerably lower official mark after building a fine profile over fences, and with quick, good ground and the step up in trip both playing to his strengths, he holds strong claims. BURNING ABILITY is the biggest danger, having only broken his duck when helped by easier company and better going last time, and with a light opening mark plus room for more now stepped up in trip, he can go close again. JISCO DU BREM also commands respect after his latest success was franked, with even more expected over today's extra distance despite a 7lb rise in his mark, while ACCUSTOMED, racing off bottom weight, narrowly missed a win in a maiden while sporting cheekpieces for the first time last spring and ran respectably without them at this trip last month. OUTSIDE THE DOOR is the selection.
