Verdict

MARS HARPER took a significant step forward from his hurdling debut when second at Limerick 22 days ago and, with further progress on the cards, can make it third time lucky in this sphere. Irish Poseidon ought to be in the thick of the action once again, with Cottie completing the shortlist in a competitive-looking maiden hurdle.

  1. MARS HARPER
  2. IRISH POSEIDON (GER)
  3. COTTIE (IRE)
