Verdict

Vital Plot was having only his second start over fences when falling at the last while in the lead at Tipperary on Sunday. If none the worse he'll take some beating but GOBAN SAOR should prove the safer option as he looked a sure-fire future winner when runner-up to Somatic here last month. Doransfirth was in the process of running a big race when falling at the second last in a strong event won by Paradis De Thaix at Tipperary on Sunday and looks a threat and chasing newcomer Granaruid wasn't far behind Goban Saor over hurdles at Tramore on New Year's Eve.
