      Verdict

      Caerleon Kate was due to run at Punchestown yesterday but comes here for softer ground as she's found quick going against her since scoring on soft at Downpatrick. Craiganboy has won over fences but has had 14 starts over timber without scoring and ran poorly on his reappearance here a couple of weeks ago. VINNIE LEWIS looked a promising staying chaser last season winning marathons at Sedgefield and Plumpton. He has returned to hurdles in good form, making all for a comfortable victory at Southwell last month, and looks the one to be on.
