Verdict

A bit better turnout than could have been expected with four holding decent chances. Ancient Days ran as well as could be expected behind Corbally Ghost at Punchestown and the faster going could bring about some improvement. Tile Lady had shown promise in bumpers before a very good effort over hurdles at Killarney though she may just find this too short. Tugboat, a winner on the Flat at Navan in October, was made favourite for his hurdling bow on this track three weeks ago but didn't quite have the pace of the front pair. The quicker ground should help and he's the main threat to BULGADEN, who has been progressing with each run and was caught in the shadow of the post by Shamkhal at Killarn
