Verdict

Draycott Place has a double penalty by virtue of completing a double in May. He was in front when running out at the third last over fences at Navan last week and his overall form puts him right in the picture. Bosman Rule looked very promising when landing a bumper and a maiden hurdle in the summer but hasn't done as well as expected subsequently on softer ground. KAUTO GRAND MOGOL, an easy winner on his hurdling debut at Limerick, couldn't make the transition to Grade 2 company a couple of weeks later but this looks his class so he's taken to get back on track. Pros 'N' Cons produced her only decent effort to date over this track and trip but it will be a surprise if she's good enough.
