Verdict

An intriguing maiden chase in which Gavin Cromwell's improving hurdler DAMEAUSCOTTLESTOWN is taken to go in at the first time of asking and deny fellow chasing debutant Strutter who has been absent since making a winning start over hurdles for Willie Mullins at Limerick in December 2024. Killaney King rates much the pick of those with chasing experience and could also have a say.
