Verdict

Montel Glory has been raised 6lb for wining over track and trip. Top Basanta and Maggie Barrett filled the places on that occasion with a couple more of these well beaten and Philip Fenton’s charge should go close again but BREFFNI BRAVE is preferred. The latter placed in a claiming hurdle at Roscommon last time but was up against higher rated horses than today’s opposition and Gordon Elliott’s charge may prove the one to side with. Only One Plan and Shannon Gray look best of the rest.
