Verdict
Veteran Analyse That hinted at a revival at Clonmel last month. He is the only one of these with a victory over hurdles on the track and is back on a winning mark so a big run is anticipated in a race that won’t take much winning. Marino Marvel has only found one too good the last twice, the latest here. But he is undoubtedly better over 2m and now 0-32 in career starts, which is also off-putting. Macho Mover was fourth on his handicap debut but tries a new trip and there is no guarantee he’ll stay. Katie O’Farrell seems to be getting the best out of HUSSLE UP, who is fancied to reverse Limerick running in December with Still Alive over this extra half-mile after a better showing last time at Punchestown.
