Verdict

STATION CLOSED can return to form following a fifth placed finish at Tramore last time. The selection won here last month and can get the better of Loch Luatha who returns to hurdles here following a spell in point-to-points which culminated in a victory last time. Of the remainder Beneficial Society has yet to win but shaped well when fourth at a big price earlier this month and she can take third today.
