Verdict

Dual bumper winner RAILWAY ZIRA was having her first start over hurdles after a long absence when running reasonably well at Listowel last month and that experience can enable her to gain her first success over timber. Flaming Hymn hasn't been seen since June of last year and, though he showed plenty of promise, he could just need the run. Bumper winner Grand Jesture has performed with credit on both starts over hurdles and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the shake-up while Ravished came up against some useful opposition in his two starts last year and is expected to do much better. Hurdling newcomer Concordin would be a threat if getting a run from his reserve spot.
