This looks wide open and the value angle could be WATCH HOUSE CROSS, who wasn't disgraced when sixth off this mark in the Troytown at Navan where it was probably the testing conditions rather than the step up to 3m that proved his undoing. With better ground forecast and the return to a more sharp track a plus, he is worth chancing. Idas Boy did the job well at Punchestown and merits respect, along with Adamantly Chosen, who was fourth in that same race. Chemical Energy also has claims.
