11/2
Fairly useful hurdler. Hooded for 1st time, keeping on when unseating last in maiden at Naas (20.1f, soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Would have run to a pretty useful level and should be bang there with a clear round.

4/1
Winner of a maiden hurdle here in September. Remote sixth on previous chase start but too soon to suggest he won't make the grade over fences.

Forecasts

Heroes Rise (2/1), True Testimony (4/1), Tell Nobody Nothin (4/1), Ballysax Hank (11/2), Step Out (7/1), Your Honor (12/1), Digby (20/1)

Verdict

If TRUE TESTIMONY can reproduce last month's Gowran form she's probably the one to beat. This is more realistic for Your Honour than the Grade 3 he tackled on his chase debut and he's second choice ahead of Gavin Cromwell's Ballysax Hank.

  1. True Testimony4/1
  2. Your Honor12/1
  3. Ballysax Hank11/2
