Verdict

Troubled looked a decent prospect when placed twice last spring but his recent form has been very disappointing. Carsonstown Bridge made a promising reappearance behind Torn Asunder at Down Royal on Boxing Day and can improve as that was only his third start over hurdles. Some Drama and Itsy Bitsy Spider weren't far behind and both can make progress as can Classic Event, who has come up against some useful opponents without being disgraced. RAISE HELL looked as though a stiffer test would suit when runner-up to his odds-on stablemate Touch Of Eden over the minimum trip at Thurles. He should get that over this extra half-mile and looks the one to be on.
