Verdict

Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy combined to take this race last year and a repeat looks on the cards in the shape of GERS GIGI, who was narrowly denied on her hurdling debut at Wexford last month (awarded race but subsequently demoted following appeal) and is open to plenty of improvement. Blacksmiths Forge made a winning start in a Downpatrick bumper last month so heads up the dangers sent hurdling, ahead of Love Like This.

  3. LOVE LIKE THIS (IRE)
