Verdict

Sunsetstorise has attempted to make all on his last two starts and should find this trip to his liking after just failing to hold off Sydney Thompson over 2m4f at Gowran. Like many of these he's well exposed but will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Good As Gold has been running well in handicaps but has now had 13 starts over hurdles without winning. COOLAGHKNOCK GLEBE looks the one to be on as he was returning from a break when running well in a much better maiden than this at Punchestown last month and has the scope to do better. Hackets Folly and Spa Hill have had their chances but Taglietelle ran easily his best race to date at Navan last time.
