Verdict

CHINX OF LIGHT made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Kilbeggan so this useful winning hurdler is worth another chance after taking an early fall at Limerick last week. Fakiera also has better days ahead of him and can give John McConnell's 6-y-o most to do, although Alfa Mix has the form to have a say too.

  1. CHINX OF LIGHT (IRE)
  2. FAKIERA (FR)
