Verdict
RATHNURE REBEL won a Grade 3 hurdle here back in 2016 and was having only his second start over fences when runner-up to the progressive Burrows Saint when tackling this trip at Gowran. Beyond The Law also finished behind Willie Mullins' charge in a Grade 3 at Limerick but was much further behind so the advantage lies with Noel Meade's nine-year-old. Western Honour, a winning point-to-pointer and dual hurdles winner, makes his chasing debut and is definitely one to keep an eye on but the once very smart hurdler Arctic Fire has been beaten a long way on both starts over fences. The mare Victoria Bay, a winner between the flags, was in fine form over timber last summer and makes her debut over regulation fences.
