In depth

Verdict

This is for horses that have never been placed in any NH race. Futurum Regem has run a couple of decent races on the Flat in recent weeks and gets plenty of weight with his rider's claim taken into account. Hardy Man ran better when dropped back to 2m at Roscommon while Presenting Dylan has only ever raced at that trip so his ability to stay this far has to be taken on trust. SIBERIAN STAR was in touch for a long way when tackling 2m4f at Kilbeggan and only weakened in the closing stages so may be good enough in a poor contest.
