Verdict

CAPTAIN BUTLER returns to hurdles off the same mark as when a good second at Ayr in November and might prove the answer to this tight-looking handicap. A Different Kind travelled like one who still retains the vast majority of his ability when fifth over a longer trip here last month and is second choice ahead of last year's winner Bertie's Ballet.

  1. CAPTAIN BUTLER (IRE)
  2. A DIFFERENT KIND (IRE)
  3. BERTIE'S BALLET
