Verdict: Preference is for another recent C&D winner in SEA ASTER, who was unsuited by soft ground since that win and this will suit better.

3/1

Comment: Hurdle winner ran his best race in four chase starts when a 10l runner-up at Leopardstown; was poor at Fairyhouse on soft ground since but could go well back on a sound surface after a break.

Sea Aster

Jockey: K C Sexton Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 7/11-12 F: 4641U- OR: 117

4/1

Comment: Won her second race over fences when scoring over C&D two starts back but raised 7lb for that; was weakening when unseating on unsuitably soft ground at Fairyhouse since; down in grade under more suitable conditions so considered.

5/1

Comment: Hurdle winner has run well at times in four chase starts but pulled-up last time in this sphere; not a bad hurdle run last time and could be running into form.

Smitty Bacall

5/1

Comment: Veteran was produced in tip-top condition last time to win over C&D after a winter break, his first chase win; 7lb rise was enough and this is a stronger race but should run well.

Comment: Point winner is yet to score in 33 races under rules; a solid hurdles run at this track last time but others make more appeal back over fences.
