Must Meet Cecil
Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time; 17l behind in seventh at Kilbeggan last time; drop into 0-100 company for the first time may spark a revival.

From the connections
“Getting Must Meet Cecil's head in front in the first claimer really helped him and he's enjoying it a lot more now. He was passed up the run-in but battled back, it was a very brave effort. He'll stay going now as long as the ground doesn't get too heavy - Cian Collins, trainer.”
“Must Meet Cecil loves good ground and to make plenty of use of him, he's just a big galloper - Cian Collins, trainer.”
