A competitive maiden hurdle to kick things off. Brex Drago was a fair performer for Marco Botti on the flat and is an interesting debutant for his new yard. Sir Benford Wales showed ability on his only start over hurdles back in 2016 and could be dangerous off a long lay off. The finish may be fought out by FALAK and Roseriver Has. The former has shown a fair level of ability so far and would have gone very close but for slipping up turning for home at Limerick last time.
- Falak
- Roseriver Has
- Brex Drago
