Verdict

Winner of a Carlisle bumper in November, ARCADIAN SUNRISE failed to land a blow on the impressive Saint Roi on hurdling debut at Tramore earlier this month but can get off the mark here in an easier contest. The six-year-old finished ¾L and 7½L ahead of third and fourth in the 14 runner contest and can get the better of three-race maiden Behind The Curtain who has been running well in defeat in a number of career starts over hurdles. The Jessica Harrington-trained Wingin A Prayer is capable of a big run if jumping fluently looks next best while Whatsnotoknow can go well at a price.
  1. Arcadian Sunrise
  2. Behind The Curtain
  3. Wingin A Prayer
