Verdict

Noble Birth couldn't get close to the winner at Gowran but ran on nicely and is certain to have benefited from the experience. Wild Hunt attracted support under Patrick Mullins at Naas but didn't get the run of the race and can do better. Gordon Elliott saddles Mighty Potter, whose dam has produced winning hurdlers with her first two foals but HASTY BROOK is out of a French bumper winner from a family of smart winning bumpers and jumpers so gets the nod in a tricky finale. Itwasfate is also one to keep an eye on along with Derek O'Connor's mount Princess Sophia.
