Verdict
Most of these arrive out of form in this poor contest and the betting is best monitored for clues. Rebel Cry ran moderately at Sligo but his earlier runs give him a chance and he'll be expected to bounce back. BALLYGILL PRINCESS finished in front of him at Clonmel and, as that was only her fourth start over hurdles and she was returning from a long break, she can confirm the form and take this. The Fitz Lady, still a maiden after 18 starts, has some decent form on quick ground while Kilcaragh Boy produced one very good run at Ballinrobe in September that would get him into contention.
