Verdict

The market leader (all odds-on) has won this race for the last four years and those strong in the betting look as though that’s where the winner will be found again. Overthetop followed up his point-to-point success with a bumper win and he merits plenty of respect on his hurdling debut although his yard could be a little sharper at the moment. CHAMPAGNE NOIR also has winning form between the flags having cost £70,000 after winning his sole outing in that sphere; he’s taken to make a winning Rules debut. Bumper winner Order Of The Thistle also enters the equation with another Rules/hurdling newcomer New Frontier who cost €40,000.
  1. Champagne Noir
  2. New Frontier
  3. Overthetop
