Verdict

Though NEEDS MUST won a modest enough maiden hurdle last time, he still looked like an improved sort and can step up again on handicap debut. Lumiere Du Large disappointed at Cork on comeback but is capable of better so is a danger. Last-time-out winners Lough Nigara and Mojoe have to step up again in this higher grade. [Tyrone Molloy]
