Verdict

LIME AVENUE looked something out of the ordinary when bolting up in a bumper and very possibly bumped into another useful rival on hurdles debut, so is fancied to get the better of the similarly promising Western General and How Will I Know in a decent contest.

  1. LIME AVENUE (IRE)
  2. WESTERN GENERAL (IRE)
  3. HOW WILL I KNOW (IRE)
