Verdict

OLD BILL BARLEY was pretty useful in bumpers and given the yard he represents, he's sure to be expertly prepared for this hurdles debut. He's therefore taken to get the better of standard setter Itwasfate. Up And Out also warrants consideration.

  1. OLD BILL BARLEY (IRE)
  2. ITWASFATE
  3. UP AND OUT (IRE)
