Verdict

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT won twice in late November/early December and travelled well when second in Grade 2 Galmoy at Gowran Park 17 days ago, though he wandered before the last and was outbattled. He has the ability to make amends here. Hiddenvalley Lake won the 2024 Boyne Hurdle and is best when fresh, while Maxxum won last year's renewal and has likely been campaigned with this race in mind again.
