Verdict

CONNA COTTAGE showed more than enough in maiden hurdles at Naas and Gowran last month to suggest that a race of this nature should be within his grasp. He remains open to improvement in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Coco Lightning, who appeared to take a significant step forward last time and should be in the mix if able to build on that here. Benjis Benefit and Johnny Clarke can do battle for minor honours.
