Verdict

Pro Bono has had a run over hurdles since beating CIAO ADIOS two lengths at Tramore but the runner-up will be a massive 13lb better off with jockey claims taken into account and should reverse the form. The winner also finished behind Celtic Revival twice here earlier this year but has a big enough pull in the weights to turn the tables. Golden Sandbanks was in good form on Turf in the summer but Union Flag has never won nor has Mosaaheb in 26 starts.
