Verdict

Baltimore Buzz made his debut over hurdles at Punchestown in May where he ran quite well but the first victory of his career came in a Roscommon bumper a month ago where he attracted support and won comfortably. Another Rattler has had a dozen starts over hurdles and been placed just once so it's ANTIPHONY, who had looked a certain future winner in the spring when trained by Philip Hobbs and who has been given a break after jumping poorly at Newton Abbot, who looks the one to be on. Aunt Eileen made her racecourse debut over 2m4f at Limerick where she looked as though that sort of trip was her minimum requirement.
