Verdict

KASPER HAUSER made it back-to-back wins when successful on chasing debut at Tramore last time, scoring in good style, and with his 4-y-o allowance he can go on to land the hat-trick. Luimneach could be the main danger with more still to offer for current yard, ahead of Chosen Shant who has won 3 times at this venue.

  1. KASPER HAUSER
