        Verdict

        ELUSIVE COWBOY came good over 1m4f here last month and should go well again despite a penalty as he remains unexposed. He was formerly trained in Ireland, as was dual hurdles winner Skilled, while Remember The Man debuts for Ralph Beckett having raced five times in France without success. Pivot Bridge makes the trip over from Ireland and has won twice at Dundalk while Uncle Bernie has his first start since 2015 but has recorded all four wins to date at this venue. Scrafton and With Hindsight are others that can be given a chance in a tricky opener.
