Verdict
Edelpour is penalised for his two victories on the Flat and has looked exposed this season after very good runs in his first two starts over hurdles. Myth Buster has been running well enough and may have found 2m7f just too far last time but RETRIBUTION caught the eye on his hurdling debut behind stable companion Rakhine State over the extended 2m track here a fortnight ago. Gordon Elliott's charge will be suited by the longer trip and can come out on top though any money for Vinnwarr should be heeded as he's shown enough to suggest he'll be losing his maiden tag soon. State Of Cognac made a bright start for Ross O'Sullivan at Fairyhouse and wouldn't need much more to get into contention.
