Verdict

NINTH LOCH shaped with plenty of promise sent hurdling when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Killarney 4 weeks ago and is the obvious choice to go one better with improvement on the cards. Good Heavens has yet to translate his useful Flat form to this sphere but still has time on his side and ought to be better for his recent run, while Smooth Tom is a very interesting hurdling newcomer having shown a good level of ability on the Flat.

  1. NINTH LOCH (IRE)
  2. GOOD HEAVENS (IRE)
  3. SMOOTH TOM (IRE)
