Verdict

Grade 3 winning hurdler RATHNURE REBEL finished second of 15 beaten 8½L in a Gowran Park beginners contest earlier this month on soft ground over 2m4f and the Beneficial gelding can build on that run to get off the mark over the larger obstacles at the third time of asking for connections. The Gordon Elliott-trained Stooshie can emerge as the biggest danger following his chasing introduction, while Another Barney in first-time cheekpieces and the Willie Mullins-trained Allblak Des Places can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Rathnure Rebel
  2. Stooshie
  3. Another Barney
