Verdict

TOP OF THE TOWN looked progressive over hurdles last year and ran well when making a winning chasing debut at Tipperary in May. The selection disappointed last time out but can make a winning handicap debut for shrewd connections here. Master Appeal has run well at this venue over hurdles in the past and can claim second on his handicap debut today while Sir Jack Yeats, a winner last time out over this distance and Aranhill Chief, the winner of this race back in 2014 are others worthy of consideration.
  1. Top Of The Town
  2. Master Appeal
  3. Sir Jack Yeats
