Verdict

Drumhart is the only one of these with a course and distance victory to his credit and he's also won over further when he had Coldstonesober three lengths back in second. House Limit has won on the track and, though very moderate, may sneak into a place with his low weight though it's about time MELDRUM LAD was winning over fences. A dual winner over hurdles, he went well for a long way when tackling 2m6f at Tramore so this shorter trip can finally bring its rewards. Myles Ahead hasn't been running well since scoring at Clonmel in June but looks perfectly capable of getting involved at this level.
