Verdict

Course specialist BETTER BACK BOB catches the eye in a race that isn't too difficult to whittle down to just a handful of serious contenders. The Trigger (ran at Kilbeggan yesterday) is well treated back over hurdles and willbe a threat if he betters his previous course efforts, while Captains And Kings is a tough cookie when he is in the right frame of mind and rates as good value to make the frame.
  1. Better Back Bob
  2. The Trigger
  3. Captains And Kings
