Verdict

COURT ARTIST was having her first start since September when comfortably landing a Kilbeggan bumper in July and she's bred for hurdling so can make a successful transition. Osco Mosco won a Wexford bumper in July and was in the lead at this trip on her hurdling bow over 2m5f at Tramore. She looks certain to give a good account as does Delayed Eloquence, though she's been a beaten favourite in her last three starts and has had 11 runs over hurdles without winning. Amarillo Rose is another who has had plenty of experience and more rain would aid her cause but winning bumper Payngo ran her best race to date over timber at Cork last time when third in a huge field and has more to offer.
