Verdict

Winning bumper ECO PETE had shown very little over hurdles before an excellent second here last month and normal progress can see him go one better. Desertmore House, a winner between the flags, has been ridden by his owner in bumpers so Ricky Doyle's presence is intriguing. Who's Houdini showed his first sign of ability over this trip at Tramore but Wee Willie Nail looks the main threat despite a disappointing run when favourite here last time.
