      Verdict

      Bellaney Lord was third here in May of last year when making his hurdling debut. Things have gone awry since but he is still preferred to stablemate Sunshine Girl. KNOCKNACREE was starting to struggle when unseating his rider two out at Tramore last month but, as that was his racecourse debut, he can be excused that run and he’ll be more the finished article here.
