Verdict

Off You Go has won four times over timber but was a 14/1 chance when second in a minor event at Killarney 12 days ago when Soviet Pimpernel was only third. Francois has never won since arriving from France early last year and Wolf Prince is hard to fancy on recent form. PIPERS MEADOW took well to hurdles last year, winning here on his second start. He has a long absence to overcome but might have more to offer.
