Verdict

KING'S WHARF has shown little in six outings over fences but has reverted to hurdles in good heart as he showed at Killarney last week. He's 8lb lower than his rating over the smaller obstacles and can take advantage. Curragh Golan generally does his best and followed his victory over the course and distance with a very good run over slightly further at Killarney. He can go well but Hurry Kitty has been inconsistent since turning to fences in September. Galboystown Lady has been running well on quicker ground though she's never won in 23 starts under Rules.
