Verdict
Sash Of Honour has been placed in three of his four starts over hurdles but did become a little disappointing in the spring and this looks a good opportunity for HANNIBAL THE GREAT to make a winning start over timber. He was a very useful sort in bumpers and has already won a point-to-point. Gate Please has been off for a while but represents a powerful yard and is another bumper and points winner while Gun Shy won a bumper at Downpatrick in May. Keppel Isle, another recruit from bumpers, looks the pick of the remainder.
