In depth
Verdict
Some nice types here though the three to concentrate on are DON COSSACK, Sizing Gold and Ally Cascade. The former's first run over timber has been eagerly awaited and his Grade 2 victory over Rory O'Moore in a bumper here last December suggests he can become a real force over obstacles this season. Sizing Gold wasn't far behind Seefood on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse and that form could be given a boost by the winner in the previous race while Ally Cascade was caught in the closing stages by the useful Jezki at Naas and has every chance of going one better. Ok Oscar makes his hurdling debut but could prove best of the remainder.
