It's highly significant that Rebecca Curtis starts off DEFINITE OUTCOME in this grade over hurdles. Already successful in a point-to-point and a bumper, he's held in high regard and may have too much class for these. Emerging Talent has plenty of ability but has become very expensive to follow while Roadie Joe will need to improve again if he is to complete a four-timer under Rules. Cardinal Palace was well beaten in a Grade 3 at Tipperary last time while it's hard to make a case for the mare Samedi Soir or Gallic Destiny at this level.
