Verdict

WESTERN HONOUR has form strong enough to be competitive with three fourths to date but the switch to Gordon Elliott's yard could easily see him improve more so he gets the nod here. Leave Your Mark has few miles on the clock and ran well enough on his hurdles bow at Galway to give him strong claims also. Both Jimmy Rabbitte and Paddy Melia improved most recently and each have claims based on those efforts.
  1. Western Honour
  2. Leave Your Mark
  3. Jimmy Rabbitte
