Verdict
GO SILVER BULLET, Carsonstown Boy and Mini Beck look the three to look at here, with Go Silver Bullet taken to score. Carsonstown Boy is a consistent type but very one paced. His effort over the course and distance last time was an improvement however, and he can hit the frame once again. Mini Beck also ran much better than expectations last time, keeping on well to be second at Kelso at a big price. He is unexposed and can go well again. Go Silver Bullet has struck form recently scoring in his last two races, winning decisively last time. Those successes came over fences, but has improved significantly since failing to land any of his six previous attempts over hurdles in Ireland. Go Silver Bullet looks to have been found a good opening to land his first hurdle success.
