Verdict

A devilishly difficult novices handicap chase in which perhaps the only thing that is certain is that the returning A Sizing Network will be the early pace angle. Kemboy is the choice of Paul Townend, and he should once more have the measure of Tombstone despite a turnaround at the weights, whilst Kim Muir third Squouateur is unsurprisingly the choice of Barry Geraghty from the JP McManus owned runners. The form-line to concentrate upon involves Bel Ami De Sivola, THE WEST'S AWAKE and Ask Nile. That recent Fairyhouse contest has already been well advertised, so we'll take a chance that the O'Grady trained horse (sixth) strips fitter today.
