Verdict

Former point winner ASPUROFTHEMOMENT has won both starts over hurdles since joining the Gavin Cromwell yard and, if able to maintain the momentum now tackling fences, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Iceberg Theory is a much-respected main danger, while the Henry De Bromhead-trained duo Grooveykindoflove and Cobra Queen (in order of preference) also merit respect.
