Verdict

Bandra Bullet is suited by a test of stamina but has to carry a penalty for a victory in a bumper last August which makes life difficult for him and GORMANSTOWN CUCKOO looks the one to beat. Colm Murphy's charge faces this trip for the first time but most certainly hasn't been stopping over shorter and ran very well behind Sebadee in a Killarney handicap last time. De Bartishell has reverted to hurdling after an unsuccessful spell over fences but his last two runs leave plenty to be desired so it's winning point-to-pointer Hollyville, who was having just her second start over hurdles when a very good third to Pickapocketortwo over this trip at Sligo, who looks the biggest danger.
