        Verdict

        BASHFUL BOY has won over hurdles for current connections since scoring at Dundalk the last time he raced on the Flat. He’s taken to make a winning return to this code while To Fly Free also returns to the level having won over timber in October. My Girl Maggie was placed yet again in novice company last time and can figure back in a handicap today while Rafiot finished strongly for third here on his latest start without threatening the winner.
