Verdict

ATLANTIC WONDER has hardly pulled up any trees in a handful of maiden hurdles but he represents a shrewd yard and will be of interest if the market speaks in his favour ahead of this handicap debut. Go Gill Go wasn't beaten far off this mark at Cork last time and a reproduction of that would give her a fighting chance, while Ceanndana and Flashthelights are others to consider in an open-looking handicap.

  1. ATLANTIC WONDER (IRE)
  2. GO GILL GO (IRE)
  3. CEANNDANA (IRE)
