Verdict

DUKE'S GIRL can finally win her first hurdle race at the 18th time of asking following a couple of solid efforts recently and should appreciate the drop in trip here. Beaten favourite at Kilbeggan earlier this month, the five-year-old can land the spoils ahead of the Gavin Cromwell-trained, Global Racing who can emerge as the biggest danger. Top weight, Bye Bye O Baby will be assisted by the 7lb claim of Darragh O'Keefe, while Pump Road, winner at Sligo in April can go well at a price.
