Verdict

WEDDING PRESENT failed to land the odds over 3m at Cork last time but the bumper winner can open his hurdling account over this shorter trip. Mr Cosmopolitan has shown enough in both starts over timber to suggest he can win at this level while Popmurphy posted his best effort so far when going close at Tramore last time. Giant's Quest wasn't beaten far in third at Thurles in October and Captainofthefleet has a second at Limerick to his credit, but bumper winner Aranhill Chief has shown little over hurdles so far.
