Verdict

RIVER VALE finished ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up on his Limerick hurdling debut in December and a reproduction of that form could be good enough to see him go one better from a 3 lb higher mark. Kalanisi Dubh and Sydney Cruiser head up the opposition.

  1. RIVER VALE (IRE)
  2. KALANISI DUBH (IRE)
  3. SYDNEY CRUISER (IRE)
