Court Duty (5/2), Grageelagh Girl (4/1), Risk And Roll (5/1), Malangen (11/2), Templepark (13/2), Old Harry Rocks (11/1), Kilcara (12/1), Ofcourseiwill (16/1)

An open contest and it may pay to side with one who still has scope for more progression over fences in the shape of TEMPLEPARK who ran well last time despite looking unsuited by the drop to 2m, this sterner test should suit him well. Court Duty has struck up a good accord with Paddy Brennan and his Uttoxter win was a good reward for some consistent efforts with a 6lb rise unlikely to hinder him unduly. Risk And Roll ought to be competitive in this but he’s more like the former part of his name and looked thoroughly disinterested last time. Both mares’ in Grageelagh Girl and Kilcara add some strength in depth although the latter will have to avoid any jumping errors.
