Verdict
Up The Style was sent to Aintree for a Listed bumper after a good run at Clonmel and wasn't entirely disgraced. She should make a hurdler as should Life Of Reilly, who has been an expensive failure in two subsequent starts following a very promising debut behind Baron De'L at Naas. Barna Gold has had plenty of chances and his best run came on very fast ground over today's C&D but Strike An Arc will be suited by the softer ground as she found Galway's firm terrain difficult to handle last time. IVEAGH HOUSE hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up in a Clonmel bumper last November but this son of Sadler's Wells looks the type to make his mark over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity.
