Verdict

Insignia Of Rank is a Listed winner on the Flat and though showing little in maiden hurdles can't be left out of calculations. The veteran My Manekineko has run well on the Flat and over fences in recent weeks and reverts to hurdles on a 9lb mark while Capture The Action looked in very good form when scoring at Thurles and holds Caridadi on that run. MATTIE'S MOUNTAIN took a while to warm to hurdles but looked progressive when landing a similar race here last month and can complete a double despite a 7lb rise. The Great White, a winning point-to-pointer, undoubtedly needs further but wasn't beaten far over the course and distance last month and a strong gallop would play to his strengths. The lightly-raced Wexford winner Forrard Away may prove best of the remainder.
