Verdict

GRAINEYHILL made his debut for Gordon Elliott on heavy going at Down Royal where he ran a cracking race to finish close-up behind stable companion Cubomania. He then proceeded to turn a Clonmel handicap into a procession and though the assessor has had his say with a 14lb rise even that doesn't look enough to stop him and his trainer has brought over James Bowen for the ride in this conditionals' event. Judgement Day has yet to win over timber and makes his handicap debut under a huge weight though it won't be long before he loses his maiden tag. Goulane Chosen's last two victories have been over fences and he reverts to hurdles on an 18lb lower mark while Goaheadmakemyday was making his handicap debut when scoring over this trip at Punchestown where he landed a gamble. The latter is just 6lb higher so can get involved again along with heavy-ground specialist Luckyinmilan and though Killaro Boy hasn't been seen since completing a double over fences last spring he's 20lb lower here.
