Verdict

JIM BOWIE has won a bumper here and finished runner-up over fences. He's been in very good form over timber recently and his young rider's claim can see him home. Bank Bonus has yet to win over hurdles but has been well supported on several occasions so someone must believe in him. Udo's Choice is also a maiden though his latest effort in a Tramore handicap suggests he will be winning soon. Key Account was in good form on quick ground last summer but hasn't run since August.
