Verdict

He is yet to score in seven attempts over hurdles. However, connections evidently feel GUNFIRE REEF is capable of striking off this much lower hurdles mark just four days on from his comfortable chase victory at Tipperary so he is worth chancing given he is in much better form than the majority of his rivals. Back at the scene of her breakthrough career victory, Moyode Lady is considered as is I'm On Snap who must prove he stays this far but has placed on two of his last three starts. The less exposed Galaxy Girl should also feature on any shortlist after she has improved for better ground finishing fourth on both starts since back from a short break.
  1. Gunfire Reef
  2. I'm On Snap
  3. Galaxy Girl
