Verdict
Calton Entry, Gilnockie and The Squinty Bridge have shown varying degrees of ability but it would be no surprise if the finish of this bumper was fought out by a couple of winning pointers. UPPERTOWN CAVE was successful at Loughrea in October when favourite Throthehatch was only third. The latter won at Glenbane subsequently but Donald McCain's recent acquisition can come out on top again.
