Verdict

This looks ripe for SPORTING GLORY, who made it third time lucky in bumpers at Fairyhouse last season prior to a very promising hurdling debut in a Grade 2 at the same course. He makes his debut for the Gordon Elliott yard in far less exalted company and will likely prove hard to beat. Taponthego showed promise on his completed start in maiden points and is preferred to Wrecking Ballbilly for forecast purposes.
