Verdict

THREE COMETS showed his first form in this sphere when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Galway in July and remains potentially well treated given his ability on the Flat (winner at Thurles in October). Gig Harbour and Mahler Appeal head the dangers.

  1. THREE COMETS (GER)
  2. GIG HARBOR (IRE)
  3. MAHLER APPEAL (IRE)
