Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained THE VERY MAN could take all the beating if turning up here following a ready victory in the Listed Novice hurdle over 2m½f on Wednesday. The six-year-old who was eased on the run-in close home, can win for the fifth race in a row at the expense of the Willie Mullins-trained Jon Snow, winner last time out at the Curragh in June in a 2m contest on the Flat. Belfast Banter for trainer Peter Fahey and Rebel Gold for Thomas Foley can compete for the minor honours.
