Verdict

Duke Of Navan and Pain Au Chocolat have “previous” the latter getting the better of the former at Perth in the summer and they still look closely matched on that form with although the lightly-raced Nicky Richards runner comes from a yard in better form. Plenty of the others in this have question marks against then but one that doesn’t from a form perspective is BALLYHILL who has shown up well in two tough novice chases and now goes handicapping off what looks to be a fair mark although the trip could be sharp enough so it’s hoped they go a good pace. Imjoeking was going well on his last visit here and may find it easier to cope with these fences rather than the National variety and Baby King should enter the equation if he can repeat his debut form over fences.
  1. Ballyhill
