Verdict

IN FOR THE NIGHT ran a cracker at Galway last time and the longer trip is unlikely to be an issue, so he's fancied to go one better. Ah Remy Martin is another big player and Duty Bound makes some appeal returning to hurdling from a potentially lenient mark.

  1. IN FOR THE NIGHT (IRE)
  2. AH REMY MARTIN (IRE)
  3. DUTY BOUND
