Verdict
SUNSETSTORISE was in very good form over fences in the spring and returns to hurdles on a 22lb lower mark so will be difficult to beat if anywhere near ready. Littlestickarubarb almost doubled her winning tally at Wexford and should be thereabouts again but Danse Away looked suited by testing conditions when completing a double in the spring. Authorative won over 2m3f at Downpatrick then found an extra furlong just too far at Punchestown so this should be ideal while Aoibhe's Beau looked progressive when landing a Tramore maiden though has more to do here. Napoleon Blue has only had four runs over timber and looks high enough in the ratings.
