      Verdict

      Most of this field have been racing under NH Rules including Itsalonglongroad, a winning hurdler but beaten a long way at Punchestown last month and on his latest start on the level. Lucky Phil showed ability over timber at the backend of last year and reappeared earlier this month with a very close third in a Clonmel handicap. If transferring that form to the Flat he must be on the shortlist though this looks a good opportunity for GETAWAY KATIE MAI. Last year's Grade 2 bumper winner at Aintree, she easily won over hurdles at Tramore in December though will need to put a poor reappearance at Ballinrobe behind her. Hayyel has improved with each run though never looked like winning in a maiden at Killarney last time.
