Verdict

Definite Trouble made too many errors on his hurdling debut at Downpatrick but showed plenty of promise and he'll be winning soon. Itsnothingpersonal has shown ability in his two starts to date over timber and the winning point-to-pointer can do better in time. Knockrea was in decent form at this time a year ago and has been running between the flags recently, though he fell last time. ROBIN DES PEOPLE looks as though he needs a stiff test and is likely to get it here so is handed the vote in a tricky opener. Loughmore Lord should be suited by stepping up in trip and is another to consider.
