Verdict

HAND OVER FIST stepped up on what he showed in maiden hurdles when third on handicap debut at Tramore and, with the promise of better to come, he could be the answer. Next on the list is another lightly-raced 5-y-o, Positive Thinker, who got back on track when placed in a Wexford maiden last time and he has been handed what looks a fair opening mark. Lake Chad is third choice, while Huit Reflets is also shortlisted and Storm Mahler is worth a second look now pitched into a handicap.

  1. HAND OVER FIST (FR)
  2. POSITIVE THINKER (IRE)
  3. LAKE CHAD (IRE)
