Verdict

The J J Hanlon-trained COMPORTA can get off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking over hurdles. Second of eight in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on New Years day, the race has produced the third, Wolfofallstreets to win while the victor, Spruced Up finished fourth of 17 in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Dublin racing festival earlier this month. The solid and consistent, Likable Chancer is likely to be the biggest danger while Do You Think So in first-time cheekpieces and Port Rashid can battle for minor honours with plucky veteran De Benno.
