Verdict

This looks to revolve around EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN, who notched a fourth placing over hurdles when runner-up at Tramore just over a fortnight ago and Richard O'Brien's charge is strongly fancied to open his account today. Recent Perth bumper winner Finnthemagician, Ace Aussie and Champella head up to opposition in that order.

  1. EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN (IRE)
  2. FINNTHEMAGICIAN (IRE)
