Verdict

Not surprisingly, plenty of these have been in action over hurdles including Nikini, twice a beaten favourite on the level before pulling up in a Listed hurdle at Galway. The Banger Doyle has been placed over fences since a couple of decent runs on the Flat but Joseph O'Brien won this last year and UXMAL, who was returning from a long break when fourth at Tramore last month, should have come on enough to take this. Impero has been running well but is still a maiden after 22 starts which tempers enthusiasm but A Piece Of Heaven has only had three starts and his trainer will find a race for him soon.
