Verdict

HABESH had Bigearsonmyright behind when third on his hurdling debut at Killarney 11 days ago. A winner on the Flat at Tramore in June, Eugene O'Sullivan's gelding is probably the one to beat here as Reckless Romeo and Shabra Emperor were both well beaten, and Great Soprano pulled up, behind Top Man Michael at Roscommon last month. Golden Clubs finished just ahead of Windsor Pride on the Polytrack last month but that was a rare good run and more interesting are newcomers Elijah Gardner and Fisher.
