Verdict
Dual Flat winner Knockmaole Boy has twice finished second in big fields over hurdles though was beaten a long way behind Rebelion Boy at Tipperary. BRAVE POPPY won a bumper here in December and was in touch for a long way on his hurdling debut over 2m3f on a return visit last month. He should be ready for this and gets the nod though Go Another One is a very interesting entry on his hurdling bow having won two bumpers and finished fourth in the championship event at Punchestown. Mr Showtime had experience over hurdles before reverting to a bumper and scoring at Roscommon and along with Valgor Du Ronceray makes this an interesting maiden.
