Verdict

A competitive novice event with the vote in favour of DARE TO SHOUT. Off the mark on the third of his 3 starts in Irish points, he produced an encouraging first effort over hurdles when runner-up to another promising sort at Newcastle 17 days ago and with progress expected, he's fancied to go well. Richhill, for the stable who took this race 12 months ago, and Traprain Law can also play lead roles.

  1. DARE TO SHOUT
  2. RICHHILL (IRE)
  3. TRAPRAIN LAW (FR)
