Verdict
A very low-grade handicap hurdle and though Western Goose is the only course and distance winner in the line-up she hasn't been running well enough to consider. Like A Demon has never won but was rarely beaten far over hurdles last season, though he had a run over fences last time and that's where his future may lie. Bronco Bill is also a maiden but looked to be running into form before a poor run at Listowel. Chance It was only beaten a couple of lengths by CANTKIDAKIDDER over this trip at Wexford and must have a chance of reversing the form though a strike-rate of 0-17 is off-putting. The winner made all that day and, with just 3lb extra to contend with, is expected to confirm the form and take this.
