Verdict

Bridies Boy couldn't quite handle the well-supported Speed Demon over the course and distance last month but looks certain to mount a bold bid with conditions to his liking. Burton Hall makes his debut over the trip having looked one-paced over shorter though he was 10l in front of Dr Patmassini at Limerick last time. JUSTFORJAMES is improving at a rate of knots and followed his maiden point-to-point victory with a comfortable success in a bumper on this track. He should do well over timber and looks the one to be on. Perfect Woman would be a huge threat if recapturing the form shown in the three starts previous to a poor effort at Limerick where she weakened quickly after attempting to make all. Winning point-to-pointer Duckweed ran very well at Tipperary last month on good going and if she handles tonight's conditions is another who can get into contention.
