        Verdict

        Blue Hills is preferred to Countrywide Belle and Cragganmore Creek. Blue Hills really does tick all the right boxes in this grade as he has gone well for this rider in the past and stays the trip adequately enough. Countrywide Belle was tried over nine furlongs before embarking over hurdles. She can be rather headstrong at the start so the rider will have to be alert. Cragganmore Creek is tried without headgear after numerous attempts with it. Haoin An Bothar has been well beaten in races in England previously but is nevertheless watched in the market. Mi Odds returns after an absence but is hard to recommend as a betting proposition. Blue Hills won't find too many easier opportunities than this and is impossible to oppose.
