Verdict

ASKARI has finished in the frame on his last three starts and this step up in distance can see him record a first hurdling victory with blinkers tried for the first time. The selection represents a top yard and can get the better of Kildaven Spider who should appreciate this step up in distance on handicap debut. Third place can go to Kilkarney Mai who ran well on her return to Rules racing here earlier this month.
  1. Askari
  2. Kildaven Spider
  3. Kilkarney Mai
