Verdict

Gordon Elliott tries blinkers on Caracal, who has failed to score in 11 starts but ran quite well at Ludlow last time, though French bumper winner Toner D'Oudairies may have a better chance for the yard despite a moderate debut over timber. Ember Jack has run well enough in both starts to suggest he should be winning a maiden soon but PEAKS OF FIRE made a very promising start over hurdles behind Silas Mariner in what looked a strong race at Cork and may be good enough for this. Total Reality looks a threat as his close second to Fearless Falcon at Thurles was a very good effort and a big improvement on his opening run.
