Verdict

Ben Dalton has been on board for both of SORTED's victories over hurdles including a very easy success at Cork two weeks ago. Conor O'Dwyer's charge has been raised 10lb for that but his rider's claim is a big help and a follow up looks on the cards. Although Dashing Ruby doesn't win often she's a consistent performer at this level and should be in the shake-up while Barry Geraghty rides Bobby John for the first time and Fran Flood's charge is capable of a big run. The four-year-old Narjawa showed her first sign of form over hurdles when staying on over 2m in a Navan maiden last time and, with progress likely, she could be the one to trouble the selection.
