Verdict

INION TIOGAIR, a bumper winner at the start of the year, has run a couple of fair races in defeat here so far over hurdles and she is getting a massive 17lb from likely favourite Lowry‘s Bar taking into account Conor Ring’s claim. The latter made a winning start over timber at Wincanton however and, granted normal progress, won’t go down without a fight. Nedzor’s second place came in a maiden point back in March but he has time on his side, as does My Lady Phoenix.
