In depth

Verdict

Mr Eko was in fine form over fences in the spring and is now on a mark of 118 after victories at Clonmel and Leopardstown. He can revert to hurdling 16lb lower so has to be a threat if near peak fitness. Mister First started odds-on in a handicap over the C&D earlier this month but was beaten seven lengths by Dactik, who was gaining his debut success on his 30th career start. A 12lb rise may prevent the winner following up and Underthefloorboards looks to have a better chance as he looked a progressive hurdler when scoring over the C&D at the last meeting. GIVE US A HAND is still a maiden over timber but has been going well all year without much luck. His recent second to Bundle Of Fun over fences at Gowran was a cracking effort and, as he can race from a 24lb lower mark over hurdles, he looks the one to be on. Prince Of Leisure is another chaser on a lenient mark back over hurdles and is one to keep an eye on.
