Verdict

BRAVEMANSGAME couldn't live with the turn of foot displayed by the top-class winner of the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle last month, but he meets nothing of Bob Olinger's ilk here, and with this step up in trip promising to suit, he can regain the winning thread. Cape Gentleman and Gallyhill are arguably open to the most progress and head the opposition.
