Verdict

Gigginstown House Stud field four of the five runners here as they bid for their fourth win in this contest in the last five years. Preference here is for the classy hurdler PRINCE OF SCARS who has been highly tried of late tackling experienced handicappers last time out and a Grade 1 contest the time before. The selection was successful at the highest level over hurdles and can get the better of Oscar Knight and Ball D'Arc who finished in the first two placings in a handicap event over this trip at Navan in December.
  1. Prince Of Scars
  2. Oscar Knight
  3. Ball D'arc
