Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer Hidden Cargo has had 17 starts under Rules and failed to win though his recent second over the track and trip puts him right in the picture. MOANS CROSS has fallen in two of his last four starts including when in touch over the track and trip last time. His previous narrow defeat at Huntingdon is the best form on view and a repeat would be good enough. Aughnacurra King also won between the flags in Ireland and hasn't been beaten far in his two runs over regulation fences so should get into contention but Collingwood Court, who won a point at Ballindenisk in May last year, has shown nothing since transferring to David Pipe.
