Verdict

A huge field but few can be seriously fancied and HIDDEN FUTURE, with a decent claimer on board, gets the vote after an excellent placed effort behind Local Celebrity at Navan. He had earlier run reasonably well behind the useful Monksland on this track and the latter subsequently had Rocky Wednesday behind at Navan. Grainne Delight was further behind at Navan and looks held but Baileys Ruffit had looked promising when runner-up on his hurdling debut here in June and, though not building on that next time, remains one to consider.
