Banoge gets the confident vote in this maiden hurdle with Romping Home and Carrick Dhu rating the main dangers. The selection has a handicap rating of 112 which is higher than anything else in the field was a fair fourth behind Bold Ransom last time out and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Romping Home rates the main danger on his latest second behind Rate Of Knots but he has had plenty of chances without taking and again he is opposed. Carrick Dhu is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Carrigogunnell but his best form is on a softer surface. Box Wallah is another that has ran with promise in the past but he will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie.Of the others. Start Royal is another with place claims but he is another that has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Banoge who will be hard to beat.
