Verdict

Rambranlt'jac is first reserve here and, though showing moderate form in two starts in France last year, wouldn't be with the champion trainer unless thought capable of very much better and this looks a very poor maiden. CAPILANO BRIDGE has the best hurdling form of those with experience having been beaten a neck at Naas last December and performing with credit in both starts last month. The Cathal Don makes his debut over hurdles having shown a bit of potential in a bumper here while Orcadian Symphony wasn't beaten far in a Limerick maiden before struggling in a Sligo bumper.
