Verdict

A strong Irish challenge here and two that appeal are Fitzhenry and PLAN OF ATTACK, with marginal preference for the latter given how Henry De Bromhead's runners have started this meeting. They were second and third respectively in a strong Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and should have leading roles now. The selection has more scope for improvement and can go well from a 5lb higher mark today. Deise Aba is progressing fast over fences and can head up the British challenge along with Cloth Cap in the same ownership. Festival winner Le Breuil and last year's second Kilfilum Cross must go on any shortlist.
