Gowran Park 17:25 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

ITS BILBO has shown an aptitude for testing ground conditions and has won twice over hurdles, including a valuable Listed handicap at the Limerick Christmas Festival last year. The selection gained fencing experience in a couple of novice events last season and can defy topweight on his return to action. Killeemore Lad has won on the Flat and over hurdles but broke his fencing duck at Downpatrick latest after filling the runner-up spot on consecutive starts. Luimneach has plenty of chasing experience to call upon and he won over marginally shorter at Kilbeggan on his penultimate start, while Astley is another to consider.

Prediction: 1st Its Bilbo, 2nd Killeemore Lad, 3rd Luimneach
