Verdict

A poor maiden hurdle here but something has to win and the principals look to be Artane Boys, Takash and We'll Meet Again and the vote goes to Artane Boys. The selection was a fair third behind Made In France last time, this looks easier and under conditions that suit he is taken to open his account. Takash rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although he is sure to have come on for that his debut run over hurdles he will need to have done so considerably to gain his revenge. We'll Meet Again is another worthy of respect he is fit from the flat but he just gave the impression when last seen over hurdles that he does not stay this trip and for that reason he is opposed. Power Bird showed improved form to be second behind Miss Holly last time and is another with place claims but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Blackthorn is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Artane Boys.
