Verdict

Nonetheless could be left to make the running here and is taking to hold on to a place here, Theophilus, third of 19, beaten 4¼L in 1m2f Curragh apprentice race three weeks ago on seasonal debut, will come on for the run, but preference is for, LORD JUSTICE, second of 15, beaten a head, in 2m Limerick handicap hurdle last day following third of 12, beaten 2¾L in a Ballinrobe handicap on the Flat in June.
  1. Lord Justice
  2. Theophilus
