Verdict

Conron has gained both hurdles victories on this track though over the minimum trip. The four-year-old Morosini has been running well in his own age group though takes on tougher opposition but another youngster, LUCKY ROAD, beat older horses in impressive style over this trip at Bellewstown and can defy a 10lb rise. Shadow Seven landed a Clonmel maiden with a battling display and the longer trip should be in his favour while Ask Nile reverts to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark after a good run over fences at Navan. Roseriver Has stayed on strongly to land a Downpatrick maiden and looks the type to improve again.
