Verdict

READIN TOMMY WRONG maintained his unbeaten record in the manner of a high-class staying prospect in the Lawlor's of Naas Novices' Hurdle in January and, with this longer trip likely to yield further improvement, he makes plenty of appeal. High Class Hero is also unbeaten under Rules and is expected to relish a greater test of stamina, while Captain Teague and Dancing City are others to note in an interesting renewal.

  1. READIN TOMMY WRONG (IRE)
  2. HIGH CLASS HERO
  3. CAPTAIN TEAGUE (IRE)
