Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained, CATS FOR CASH can get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking over hurdles with Co Meath yard boasting a 49% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last four years. Argent Et Or is becoming a frustration for punters having being back in to favouritism on both of his Punchestown bumper starts, but remains enough of a danger on hurdling debut. Gansters Paradise and Laureate can battle for remaining prize money.
