Verdict
Baby Grey, a dual point-to-point winner, is penalised for his victory in a bumper but ran well on his hurdling debut over 2m4f here last month. Ebazan, runner-up to Declaration Of War at the Curragh in September, has yet to get his act together over hurdles but is gradually improving and has to be a threat to all. Love On Top is progressing nicely and did well to land a bumper here last month but DAWERANN looks the one to be on. Mick Hourigan's charge had some strong bumper form without winning and showed he would soon be losing his maiden tag with a very good run behind Call Me Bubbles over this course and distance last month.
