Verdict
Exit Seven has been chasing and can revert to hurdles on a much lower mark but he's still a maiden after 20 career starts and has no form on this sort of ground. Loughmore Lord has only had four runs and shown little though he makes his handicap debut from a low enough mark but Whispering Hope did better when sent over a much longer trip last time. Troll D'oudairies has had 24 starts without winning and his best form has been over much further than this so all roads lead to BLAZING WEST (NAP), who finally got her head in front in a Thurles maiden last month but who had been performing well previously including with two very good runs on this track last winter.
