oddschecker Verdict

Dual bumper winner TEOFIL all but stands out. He ran a cracker when second on his debut at the Punchestown Festival back in April before scoring at the Galway Festival and again at Killarney in August, form that surely gives him a chance against Listowel Festival handicap hurdle runner-up Shirzan, who was a maiden hurdle winner on soft ground at Limerick in March. She was unfortunate to be disqualified at Tramore in August when her jockey weighed in light. Sunny South West won two bumpers and a maiden hurdle last year and he has reached the frame on a number of occasions since, most recently when third to Ebony King at Listowel last month. Purple Bandit looks the best of the three-year-olds on what he showed at Roscommon.

Prediction: 1st Teofil, 2nd Shirzan, 3rd Sunny South West
