Verdict

XSQUARED was last seen over hurdles in July where he scored over the course and distance from a 7lb lower mark. He's had a couple of recent runs on the Flat which should have put him straight to score here again. Noble Call also has a victory over track and trip to his credit though he didn't run well at Kilbeggan earlier this month. Illtakeitfromhere also ran that same day at Kilbeggan where he showed improved form in a maiden though he faces a stiff task on his handicap debut. Seeyouallincoppers will appreciate the fast ground while Gordon Elliott's UK recruit Top Chief is lurking on a lowly mark, though hasn't shown much to date.
