Verdict

GREAT WHITE SHARK is expected to improve on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month when the Le Harve mare will have learned much in defeat. The five-year-old may have Gigginstown House Stud representative and Gordon Elliott-trained Final List emerge as the biggest danger following a fine debut at Naas last month. The Jessica Harrington-trained Polished Steel should not be easily dismissed.
