Verdict

Yaha Fizz is likely to make the running out in front here and has maintained the good impression he created last season in two runs this term. He should go well, but may again be vulnerable to a closer late on. Ben Dundee wasn't far behind him last time and should be in the mix for this while his stablemate Sanibel Island is getting back towards a winnable mark. Quick Jack is respected despite an absence and any support for Tony Martin's former Galway Hurdle winner would be noted. TRAINWRECK has impressed in his three starts over timber for Henry De Bromhead and appears to have been given a chance by the assessor now going handicapping, with a 5lb claim in the saddle to assist. He could be up to landing this typically tricky contest.
  1. Trainwreck
  2. Yaha Fizz
  3. Quick Jack
