Verdict

GOODIE GIRL looks on a good mark based on her hurdle ability and may prove the answer to this open finale. Maxwell Smart came clear at Bellewstown last time and a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing if in similar form. Noel Meade pair Acanto and Chestnut Palace have fewer miles on the clock than most of these and also make the shortlist.

  1. GOODIE GIRL (IRE)
  2. MAXWELL SMART (IRE)
  3. ACANTO (IRE)
