Verdict

Difficult to get away from the clear and obvious chances of the Charles Byrnes-trained DOCTOR DUFFY. The seven-year-old has shown a good attitude on both starts over fences earlier this month and can improve on his pleasing effort at Roscommon, despite sent off the 8/15f. The gelding can hold off the attentions of 145-rated handicap hurdler, Braid Blue on chasing debut for trainer and jockey combination of Gordon Elliott/Davy Russell. The Henry De Bromhead-trained Demain Des L'aube and Noel Kelly's, Hear No Evil can compete for remaining prize money, while Roman ROck for trainer Mouse Morris should not be taken lightly.
  1. Doctor Duffy
