Verdict

Winner of a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle over this trip in July last year MONARCH produced a promising run on seasonal return at Listowel in a 2m handicap hurdle and can land this contest despite the attentions of Niven from the Noel Meade yard and Suitor who is capable of a big run returning to hurdles for jockey Davy Russell.
