Verdict

LITTLESTICKOFRUBARB won a Cork handicap hurdle for previous trainer Adrian Maguire last month before struggling a little off her new mark but is taken to handle the new mark on stable debut with the adept Finian Maguire still in the plate. Banksoftheshannon has to prove his improvement on St Stephens day was not a one-off while El Rouli and Lambs Lane can battle it out for the minors.
