Verdict

SWEET STING will be better for her recent outing at this track after a short break. She won a Tramore maiden hurdle well enough in August and looks likely to appreciate this step up in trip against some very inconsistent rivals. Ask Cory returns to hurdling after showing some ability over fences and ran a fair race last time out. If he can translate that effort to the smaller obstacles he should have a fair chance. Justice Jim isn't out of this if he can build on his latest start while Ballea Fox should remain competitive despite a 2lb rise in the weights.
  1. Sweet Sting
  2. Ask Cory
  3. Ballea Fox
