Verdict
Dragon's Pass is the only course winner having scored over 2m3f for which she's 6lb higher. She stays this trip and looks certain to go well though conceding 13lb to ARCTIC AMBITION may prove beyond her. Gordon Elliott's charge has been chasing, scoring at Thurles before starting long odds-on for a Tramore handicap hurdle and unseating three out. He's 19lb lower over timber and looks the one to beat. Cave Court was heavily supported for his handicap debut at Down Royal though couldn't quite concede 16lb to Kalanis Dubh but should have made further progress and can get involved. Indie Belle scored over fences at Tramore and has run well in both subsequent starts over timber but Gold Haven has never won, though couldn't have gone any closer over 2m4f here last month.
