Verdict

BIG ISLAND may well have won but for falling late on at Tramore on his final outing last summer, so he could be ready to open his account racing off the same mark here. He gets the vote ahead of chase-debutante Ellies Rock, who has shown improved form over hurdles this year, while L'Amiral Fromentin is another to consider back up in trip.
