        Verdict

        A dire contest but recent Worcester winner Irish Octave probably has a favourite’s chance as he easily has the beating of both Backoftherock and Withoutdefavourite. CORNER CREEK hinted at ability in bumpers and hurdles and won a point-to-point in his younger days. He’s only run twice over fences so there is possibly more to come. It’s difficult to make much of a case for the remainder.
