In depth

Verdict

A couple of these are looking to make up for recent blunders. Coole Avenue was still in contention when falling at Limerick last time and MACKEYS FORGE was laying down a challenge when blundering and unseating his rider at Thurles earlier this month. Dessie Hughes' charge gets another chance here to finally get off the mark over fences. Best Served Cold has failed to match his form over hurdles in a couple of starts chasing and the same can be said of Golden Ticket. Hansupfordetroit faded badly on his chasing bow but better is expected from him and Mart Lane as they gain experience.
