Verdict
KNOCKMAOLE BOY has to concede weight all round here but has been in good form recently and can complete a four-timer over hurdles by taking this opening contest. Hurdling debutant Parole was successful on his most recent appearance on the Flat and can claim second here ahead of Golden Jeffrey who is making just his second appearance over hurdles today.
