Verdict

Trainer Ronan McNally has a strong hand here. The Trigger is bidding for a five-timer having supplemented last month's Tipperary chase success with three more wins over hurdles since, the latest of those in good style at the Galway Festival. He's only 3lb higher now. Stablemate Da Baba Elephant lurks on a workable mark and wasn't beaten far at Kilbeggan recently; any market support for him would need heeding. MAUREEN'S STAR was closing all the way to the line over shorter at Kilbeggan eight days ago and has claims from a low weight given her excellent for lately. Cushinstown Finest is low-mileage for her age and the course hurdles winner comes here after a good third at Tramore.
