HURRICANE ALI has developed into a consistent perfomer over hurdles, winning 5 of his last 11 starts, and can enhance his excellent strike rate with another success. The 6-y-o proved better than ever when scoring at Bangor last month and can see off the challenge of fellow last-time-out winners El Borracho and Krypton Gold.
