Verdict

GUN DIGGER for the powerful Gordon Elliott/Jack Kennedy are taken to land this competitive event which could see a number of runners going well. The selection has put in a couple of decent efforts in maiden hurdles since without winning recently, while the Joseph O'Brien-trained West Coast Time will look to better his second seven last time out at Limerick over Christmas with the Noel Meade-trained Guided By You and Penance capable of having their say.
