Verdict

High Desert last ran over hurdles in November when just touched off at Down Royal. He's performed poorly over fences subsequently but a run on the Flat a couple of weeks ago should have freshened him up. Three bumper runs will have given Wall Street Wally the confidence for his hurdling debut and Sliabh Glath has shown enough ability to make his presence felt but it's OUR OLLIE who gets the vote. Paul Gilligan's charge hadn't been showing much until a fine run behind Sorted over the minimum trip here and a repeat will find him difficult to beat. Law Rebel was a progressive bumper and though well beaten on his hurdling debut is likely to do much better with that under his belt.
