Verdict

A YEAR OLDER was successful on his last run over hurdles returning from 10 months off here on New Year's Day and is chanced to repeat the feat on his reappearance. Moonlight Paradise is another to consider, while it's hard to dismiss the in-form Moonshine Girl for all she faces a much different test than she did when winning at Galway last week.

  1. A YEAR OLDER (IRE)
  2. MOONLIGHT PARADISE (IRE)
  3. MOONSHINE GIRL (IRE)
