oddschecker Verdict

HELLO GARDA is the winner of a juvenile hurdle since he last ran on the Flat and should go well in a most open heat. He finished runner-up to even-money favourite Inthenickoftime in an all-aged handicap hurdle at Galway and looks nicely treated on his first start in a Flat handicap on this side of the Irish Sea. Rio Doce was just ahead of Acanto and Piatra Neamt when easily running his best race to finish second behind the in-form Inver Bay at Roscommon last week. They can all be fancied to go well again, while Maxwell Smart can't be ignored after his success at Bellewstown and last year's winner Charlie Brow'n is yet another to note.

Prediction: 1st Hello Garda, 2nd Rio Doce, 3rd Acanto
