Verdict

This race tends to throw up a useful winner, with Willie Mullins likely to have had a target for hurdling newcomer MR ADJUDICATOR for some time. He was an easy winner on the Flat at Killarney when last spotted and should be primed to the minute for this. Kuraka's debut hurdling effort behind yesterday's Grade 2 winner Espoir D'allen commands respect, though he has been turned over at odds-on since. Pete So High made a decent start over timber at Cork this month and has potential for better while Slaney Street was useful on the level and is of some interest in the betting now going jumping.
  1. Mr Adjudicator
  2. Kuraka
  3. Pete So High
