Verdict

The returning Big Bad Brian could be the one to make the early running here with possibly Allez Kal and Apache Jack chasing in behind. The Gordon Elliott-trained Lilywhite Gesture returns to hurdling following her last two chasing disappointments and can grab a place with Off The Charts who will look to improve on his eye-catching third last time out at Punchestown. Progressive five-year-old DROMORE LAD can continue his development here.
