Verdict
Jaariam looks best of those with experience having performed with credit on heavy ground here in February but this should go to a newcomer. Firm Footings cost €220,000 and is a half-brother to the top-class Monalee while Lisnagar Fortune is a half-brother to Stayers' Hurdle winner Lisnagar Oscar. Sarah's Soldier is a half-brother to a winning bumper but a tentative vote goes to the filly HOPEFORARUN, a half-sister to Run For Mary and Run For Oscar.
