Verdict

VALSAD, a good quality recruit from the Flat, ran out quite an impressive winner on his C&D hurdling debut last month and is surely good enough to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Virtual Rock showed a similar level of form on the level to the selection and is feared most ahead of Guard Duty.

  1. VALSAD (IRE)
  2. VIRTUAL ROCK (IRE)
  3. GUARD DUTY
