      Verdict

      SOPHIE FATALE will be pleased to return to hurdles after a poor round of jumping here last month and with conditions in her favour can finally get off the mark. Lady Bowes won a bumper at Perth in August and didn't stay 2m4f on her hurdling debut at Ayr where she only weakened from 2 out. Houston Texas arrives with a victory in a maiden point at Tinahely to his credit while Storm Arcadia has shown ability in bumpers and makes his hurdling debut. Paddy The Panda led until the last over the course and distance last time and would need to find much more to get into the mix.
