Verdict
Gordon Elliott has won both previous renewals and has a couple entered here. The Bosses Oscar looks best of them having made a promising start over fences behind a very useful type at Listowel and the Pertemps Hurdle runner-up looks certain to make a bold bid. SAMS PROFILE, narrowly beaten in two Grade 1 races over hurdles and winner of a Grade 2, fell on his chasing bow at Thurles but then ran well behind Monkfish at Fairyhouse. He had Sixshooter eleven lengths behind when scoring over timber at Gowran and should have the edge on Noel Meade’s charge. Silver Sheen completed a hat-trick of victories over hurdles two years ago and is unlikely to want for fitness.
