Verdict

GOOSE MAN for trainer Tom Taffe and owner Mrs Fitri Hay can follow up on his narrow Navan win in January off a 13lb lower mark with the second Bothar Dubh going on to win at Clonmel last month. The Cheveley Park Stud-owned Western Honour has won two of his last four starts over hurdles including winning an Ayr novice hurdle over 2m3½f on good to soft ground last month and can prove to be the biggest danger here with The Long Mile and Stay Humble worthy of strong consideration.
