Verdict

This has the potential to be a well above-average maiden hurdle. DEEP CAVE was bought for big money after winning his sole outing in points and gets the narrow vote, but both Benaud, a useful performer on the Flat, and Absolute Notions, a fairly impressive winner of his sole bumper start, command the utmost respect.

  1. DEEP CAVE (IRE)
  2. BENAUD (IRE)
  3. ABSOLUTE NOTIONS (IRE)
