Verdict
Hurricane Volta, three times a winner on the Flat, hasn't shown much aptitude for jumping and was beaten a distance when third at Ayr in February. Winning point-to-pointer Port Rashid showed a bit of promise over hurdles before tackling heavy ground at Cork where he was well beaten. WINTER SOLDIER was returning from almost two years off when fourth in a similar race at Thurles and, with that under his belt, looks the one to beat in a very ordinary maiden. Henry De Bromhead's newcomer Biddy Be has a fine pedigree for hurdling and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to get involved.
