      Verdict

      Draco makes his hurdling debut in this strong event but has shown promise in bumpers and over 1m6f on the Flat at Leopardstown last month. Fruits Of Molly ran a superb race behind Shield at Cork in May but didn't build on that when favourite at Sligo while Gusty Rocky also disappointed after completing a bumper and Flat double in May. Most Peculiar hasn't quite been able to raise a finishing burst when tackling longer trips and Poetic Lord has been looking as though further than this would suit. TANDEM makes his hurdling debut but he'll be primed to the minute and his form on the Flat last season, especially when a close third in a Leopardstown Group 3 in September, suggests he could be very useful over timber so he's taken to make a successful start.
