Verdict

Plenty with a squeak but preference is for CARRIGDOUN BOY, who left his hurdling debut form behind when pulling clear with an odds-on favourite at Kempton just under 6 weeks ago and there could be even more to come now moving into handicaps. Irish Hill took his form up a notch when scoring at Taunton recently so he's put forward as the main threat, with Mayhem Mya and Kihavah another couple fancied to go well.

  1. CARRIGDOUN BOY (IRE)
  2. IRISH HILL (GER)
  3. MAYHEM MYA
